Abstract

In the present paper the cook-off test of a kind of detonator based on RDX explosive is carried out. The thermal safefy of the explosive parts is discussed. The thermal response of the explosives is calculated by numerical simulation methods that use PHOENICS software. The results show that thermal safety of explosive small parts is better than the big one in the lower environment temperature. The ignition area will be moved from the center of the cylinder to the edge when the environment temperature is increased.
