Notes:
A simple, empirical linear relationship between detonation velocity at theoretical maximum density and a factor, F, that is dependent solely upon chemical composition and structure is postulated for a gamut of ideal explosives. The explosives ranged from nitroaromatics, cyclic and linear nitramines, nitrate esters and nitro-nitrato aliphatics to zero hydrogen explosives, carbonless explosives and hydrogen rich explosives. Of the 64 explosives evaluated, 95% had calculated detonation velocity values within 5% of experimental and 98% within 7%. Only nitromethan varied grossly (-; 13%) from calculated velocity and the absolute error for all explosives is ±2.3%.
