Abstract
AbstractIn order to gain a better understanding of the detonation behaviour of the non‐ideal explosive ammonium nitrate, the detonation velocities of low density prilled ammonium nitrate were measured in steel tubes with different diameters and wall thicknesses. It was found that the tube diameter has a much greater effect on the detonation velocity than the confinement. The highest value observed (3.95 km/s) coincides with the ideal detonation velocity as predicted by the TIGER code in combination with the JCZ3 equation of state.
