Various test methods and explosive parameters have been used as indicators
of explosive performance, but, in practice, often do not give the
same order of ranking when applied to detonating explosives. This
paper attempts to review this area. Furthermore, `power' or, more
properly, explosive performance, is one of the criteria used in a
United Nations publication for judging suitability for transport
and the method of packaging unstable substances, materials that for
the most part are not capable of detonation. Methods for measuring
the performance of explosives are examined in this paper, and a subsequent
paper will address the value and meaning of power tests when applied
to unstable substances.
