Abstract
The calibration of the small scale gap test (SSGT) is reported. It covers the ranges of 5 to 90 kbar in shock pressure be simply extrapolated beyond these ranges. Comparison of the shock sensitivities measured in the SSGT with those obtained in the large scale gap test showed quantitative correlation for explosives tested at porosity or = 10%. Differences at lower porosities are described and discussed.Keywords
