The impact and friction sensitivities of explosives were measured by 12 methods used in Russia and abroad. Correlations between explosion frequency on devices No. 1 and No. 2 with a {open_quotes}lower sensitivity limit{open_quotes} according to Russian standard 4545-88 and {open_quotes}critical clamping pressure{close_quotes} for the I-6-2 device are obtained. Almost all results are well correlated with critical stress p{sub 1} thus representing a good base for explanation of experimental results for impact and friction. The values we obtained determining friction sensitivity are often proportional to p{sub 1}. The regularities obtained are explained.
