Abstract

Abstract : The cover picture shows (in the lower half) a new Ball‐Drop Impact Tester (BIT) manufactured by OZM as well as the moment of initiation of two energetic coordination complexes. The upper picture on the left represents probit curves of prominent sensitive energetic materials which could be excellently measured and evaluated with the new device. The right picture shows one of our conclusions that the BIT values better correspond to the BAM friction values than the BAM impact values on page 147 ff.
