Table of explosive detonation velocities
- Table of explosive detonation velocities
This is a list of the detonation velocities at specified (typically, the highest practical) density of various explosive compounds.
The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy or power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive.
