Abstract

In details a test method is described which gives the delay times and buildup distances of the initiation of squeeze cast or plastic bonded high explosive charges. A special test setup arrangement is used to observe the incoming detonation wave of a high explosive train as the donor or initiating charge, then the breakthrough of the detonation wave at the acceptor charge in the axial direction and in the 90° direction. This allows to define the shift of the detonation breakthrough in the longitudinal direction, and the corner turning distance in the transverse direction and the build-up distances in both observed directions.
