Tetrazene (1-(5-tetrazolyl)-3-guanyl tetrazene hydrate) [2] is an explosive material used for sensitization of priming compositions. It is a derivative of the compound with the IUPAC name tetrazene. Tetrazene is slightly more impact-sensitive than mercury fulminate. When pressed enough, its sensitivity is reduced or destroyed; this is known as ...
Tetrazene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H 2 NN=NNH 2. It is a colorless explosive material. An analogue is the organosilicon derivative (tms) 2 NN=NN(tms) 2 where tms is trimethylsilyl. [1] Isomeric with tetrazine is ammonium azide. Tetrazene explosive, commonly known simply as tetrazene, is used for sensitization of priming ...

(UN No.s no longer in use) UN 0118: 1.1D: Hexolite, or Hexotol dry or wetted with less than 15 percent water, by mass UN 0119 to UN 0120? (UN No.s no longer in use) UN 0121: 1.1G ...
The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the detonation pressure. The pressure can be calculated using Chapman-Jouguet theory from the velocity and density.
The explosives in the percussion cap are a lead styphnate and tetrazene explosive mixture. The chemical reaction is exothermic and the exterior temperature of the canister will reach 260 °C (500 °F). It will produce oxygen for 12 to 22 minutes. [23] [24]
The Maschinengewehr (MG) 151 is a belt-fed autocannon for aircraft use, developed in Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1940 and produced by Waffenfabrik Mauser during World War II.It was originally produced in 15.1 mm caliber from 1940, with a 15×96mm cartridge, but due to demand for higher effect against aircraft, especially with the introduction of mine shells for the 20 mm MG-FF/M aircraft cannon ...
Tertiary explosives, also called blasting agents, are so insensitive to shock that they cannot be reliably detonated by practical quantities of primary explosive, and instead require an intermediate explosive booster of secondary explosive. These are often used for safety and the typically lower costs of material and handling.
