Its velocity of detonation is 7, 350 meters per second, comparable to TATB.
2.
The advance of flame appeared as an oblique image on the film, from which the velocity of detonation was measured.
3.
The velocity of detonation for CDP formulations can therefore be customized by adjusting the weight percentage of reducing agent and dry ice.
4.
It is commonly the thickness of electrical extension cord and has a velocity of detonation of approximately 6000 7000 metres per second.
5.
The velocity of detonation is sufficient to use it for synchronising multiple charges to detonate almost simultaneously even if the charges are placed at different distances from the point of initiation.
6.
Under Kistiakowsky's leadership, X-Division designed the complex explosive lenses needed to compress the fissile plutonium velocities of detonation in order to produce the required wave form.
7.
While it is highly explosive, with a velocity of detonation even higher than that of CL-20, HHTDD readily decomposes in the presence of even trace amounts of water, making it unsuitable for any practical applications.
8.
Plastic explosives are especially suited for explosive demolition of obstacles and fortifications by engineer, combat engineers and criminals as they can be easily formed into the best shapes for cutting structural members and have a high enough velocity of detonation and density for metal cutting work.
