SHOCK INITIATION PROPERTIES
Table 4.11 TETRYL
Composition
100 wt% tetryl
Theoretical Maximum Density
1.73 g/cm3
Particle Size Distribution
Particles were mostly shapeless, multicrystalline agglomerates, about 0.6 mm in
diameter, with a small fraction of O.l- to 0.2-mm particles.
Preparation Method
Pellets were dry pressed. 1.70-g/cm3 wedges were formed by machining, and the
lower density wedges were made by abrading the pellets under water.
