Tetryl is a sensitive explosive compound used to make detonators and explosive booster charges. The Celsius Temperature scale was previously known as the centigrade scale. The autoignition temperature or kindling point of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for Chemical compounds Polymers biological sequences mixtures and Alloys They are also referred to UN numbers or UN IDs are four-digit numbers that identify Hazardous substances, and articles (such as explosives flammable liquids toxic substances etc List of UN Numbers UN 0201 to UN 0300 PubChem is a Database of chemical Molecules The system is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI a component An explosive material is a material that either is chemically or otherwise Energetically unstable or produces a sudden expansion of the material usually accompanied For the Ratt album see Detonator (album A detonator is a device used to trigger an Explosive device.

Tetryl is an odorless yellow crystalline solid that is not found naturally in the environment. Under certain conditions, tetryl can exist as dust in air. It is slightly soluble in water and in other liquids.

Tetryl was used mainly during World Wars I and II and later conflicts. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Tetryl is usually used on its own, though can sometimes be found in compositions such as tetrytol. Tetrytol is a High explosive, comprising a mixture of Tetryl and TNT. Tetryl is no longer manufactured or used in the United States, but can still be found in legacy munitions such as the M14 anti-personnel landmine. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The M14 mine is a US small anti-personnel Landmine first fielded in the late 1950s A land mine is an Explosive device designed to be placed on or in the ground to explode when triggered by an operator or the Proximity of a vehicle person

Tetryl has a detonation velocity of 7,570 metres per second.

Production

Tetryl is produced by action of a mix of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid on dimethylaniline. Nitric acid ( H[[nitrate NO3]] also known as Aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and Sulfuric (or sulphuric acid, H 2 S[[oxygen O]]4 is a strong Mineral acid. N, N -Dimethylaniline (DMA is an organic chemical compound which is a substituted derivative of Aniline.
