Detonation velocity of domestic expolsives was measured using the Dautriche method. The variables employed in this study were the thickness of explosive and the amount of salt added in the ammonium nitrate(AN) explosive. As the results of this study, it was shown that the detonation velocity increases with an increase of explosive thickness but decreases with an increase of salt content. It was further demonstrated that the detonation velocity decreases rather rapidly when the salt content increases over 20 percent. In addition, the accuracy of Dautriche method was evaluated as a preliminary study and its result showed that this method is quite reliable with an experimental error of less than 10 pct.
