Table 3.34 OCTOL ON DURAL
HMX/TNT: 76.3 f 0.8 wt% HMX. 1.809 f 0.007 g/cmS. 155-mm-thick conical
frustum of 279-mm small diameter and 324-mm large diameter with large end
toward plate. P-080 and 32-mm-thick Plexiglas booster. D = 8.478 km/s at p0 =
1.814 g/cm3 and 77 wt% HMX. D increases -0.8031 km/s per O.OOl-g/cm3 density
increase and -0.013 km/s per 1 wt% HMX increase.

“Mean and standard deviation of seven determinations on the first
three shots listed, five determinations on the next five, and three
determinations on the last.
Linear least squares fitting gives U, = 3.695 km/s - 0.01160 t (mm). At t = 0,
plate U, = 7.811 km/s, and P, = 39.72 GPa. Acoustic approximation with D =
8.452 km/s, pox = 1.809 g/cm3, and porn = 2.781 g/cm3 gives corresponding explosive
parameters of P, = 33.84 GPa, U,, = 2.213 km/s, and y = 2.819.
