Increasing measurement accuracy in electro-optical method for measuring velocity of detonation

In Addition to other detonation parameters detonation velocity is a value that provides indirect information on the strength i.e. brisance of an explosive and explosive performance. In addition to that, detonation velocity is a value which can be measured in a relatively simpler and more precise manner, by developed and accessible methods when compared to other detonation parameters. Due to its simple use, compact instruments and satisfactory accuracy, electro-optical method of detonation velocity measurement is widely used. The paper describes the electro-optical method and points out the factors that affect its accuracy. The accuracy of measurement is increased and measurement uncertainty is reduced by the measurement result analysis with the application of different measurement setups.
