R. Meyer J. Köhler A. Homburg Explosives

Plateau Combustion
explosive under test is boostered by a 5g pellet of tetryl, in turn
initiated by a No. 8 detonator.
Method 13 – A 1-5/8-inch diameter, 5-inch long uncased charge is
fired on a 1-3/4-inch thick, 5-square inch cold-rolled steel plate, with
one or more similar plates as backing. The charge is initiated with a
No. 8 detonator and two 1-5/8-inch diameter, 30-g Tetryl boosters.
