Table of explosive detonation velocities

This is a list of the detonation velocities at specified (typically, the highest practical) density of various explosive compounds.[1]

The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy or power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive.
