The velocity of detonation of an Explosion is the rate at which the detonation/combustion wave travels through the Explosive product. The speed or how fast the Chemical Reaction occurs or the rate of the reaction. '''Velocity of explosion''' (VOE) refers to both High and Low Explosive s. The reaction speed is measured in feet per second or meters per second. Typical detonation velocities in gases range from 1800 m/s to 3000 m/s. Typical velocities in solid explosives often range beyond 6000 m/s to 8000 m/s. |
