147 Gelatins; Gelatinous Explosives; Gelignites
The jet velocity is proportional to the square root of the combustion
temperature and inversely proportional to the square root of the mean
molecular weight of the combustion gases.
Other details can be deduced from the formula.

Gas Pressure
Gasdruck; pression de gaz
The pressure generated in the chamber of a weapon; its value depends
to a large extent on the nature of the weapon and of the powder
selected. Standard determinations of gas pressure are carried out with
the aid of a crusher (“measuring egg”) – a copper cylinder or a copper
pyramid – the compression of which is a measure of the gas pressure.
A complete transient gas pressure curve can be plotted with the aid of
piezo-quartz or other pressure transducer with an oscillograph (W Ballistic
Bomb).
GELANTINE DONARIT S
Gelatine Donarit S is a blasting cap sensitive gelatinous explosive. It
contains specialsensitizers and can be used under high pressure.
