The rates of isothermal decomposition at 110-degrees-C of fourteen exp
losives are specified by means of the Czech vacuum stability test STAB
IL. A dependence was found between these rates and the explosion (deto
nation) temperatures of the studied explosives. This dependence indica
tes that there may be some relationship between the rates of the proce
sses in low-temperature thermolysis and the rate of the conversion in
the reaction zone of the detonation of these explosives.
