DDT Behavior of Ground Tetryl and Picric Acid

DDT Behavior of Waxed Mixtures of RDX, HMX, and Tetryl

“…Moreover, the fact that the waxed Class A (.r 200p) HMX showed a greater predetonation column length t than did the narrow sieve cut (115u) is of particular interest because it is the reverse of the usual and reported trend of increased k with decreased particle size. In fact it is the'reverse of our own results on pure and waxed RDX (above) and on fine and coarse tetryl (4). Presumably the reversal was caused by removal of the fines, but this will have to be checked.…”

“…Shot 1606, 69.4% TMD 97/3 tetryl/wax was made to assess further the results already reported on this mixture (4).…”
