Abstract

This report describes experimental work done to calibrate an equation of state (EOS) for the plastic explosive m/46 used by the Swedish armed forces. The EOS has been calibrated against measurements of detonation velocity and cylinder expansion as measured by a standard cylinder test. Unsusseful attempts to directly measure the detonation pressure have also been carried out.
