A method is proposed for calculating the critical impact initiation parameters of solid explosive in connection with fall-hammer sensitivity tests using a Kholevo No. 2 instrument. Tables present the initial data for calculating the critical initiation parameters of a series of common explosives, and the results of the calculations. Also shown are the results of calculating p and delta as functions of the composition of an ammonium perchlorate-Plexiglas mixture. The experimental data on the sensitivity of this mixture are consistent with the calculations made on the assumption of a chemical reaction between the ammonium-perchlorate and the Plexiglas (or their thermal decomposition products) on impact.
