U.S. Army Materiel Command. Engineering Design Handbook: Explosives Series Properties of Explosives of Military Interest

AMC Pamphlet AMCP 706-177. — Headquarters, U.S. Army Materiel Command, 1971. 403 p.This 1971 handbook is one in the Engineering Design Handbook Series of the Army Materiel Command containing practical information and quantitative facts helpful in the design and development of Army materiel so that it will meet the tactical and technical needs of the Armed Forces. The report is one of a series on explosives. One hundred and ten explosive compounds or mixtures are listed alphabetically, with their properties, including composition variations. These explosives were selected because of their current or probable application to military use. This handbook provides contractors, engineers, and military personnel with information on explosive compounds and their properties, including composition variations.Abbreviations and introductionAmatol. 80120.
