✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The facilities in use at Dyno Industrier A.S for testing explosives underwater are described. Shock wave energy and bubble energy together with detonation velocity are measured with different degrees of confinement. The use of the underwater shooting station for developing new explosives and testing of different ignition systems is explained. Finally, some comments are made on the advantages and disadvantages of having a deep salt water testing station in a Norwegian fjord.

## Abstract The change in postdetonation free energy, rather than the often used change in detonation enthalpy, is suggested as a measure of the underwater performance of high explosives. Results of a correlation analysis of data from 11 explosives are presented. It is suggested that the detonation

## Abstract The change in postdetonation free energy has been used for assessment of the sum of shock and bubble energies of aluminized explosives in underwater applications. As has been suggested for CHNO explosives the detonation pressure also in this case seems to be a significant factor. For co
