A procedure for determining the nitrocellulose and tris-beta-chloroethyl phosphate content in PBX 9404 by high performance liquid chromatography is discussed. For a sample which contained 2.88% NC, 2.87% was found with a standard deviation of 0.02%. The same sample, known to contain 2.72% CEF, was found to be composed of 2.69% CEF with a standard deviation of 0.04%.
