The experiments have a key role in the initiation and transition studies of solid high explosives. Detonic has forced scientist to improve their experimental approach by designing relevant set‐up and developing accurate metrological devices. For example, the wedge or pop‐plot test was developed in the 50’s and remains a legacy experiment in the characterization of high explosive. However, for 70 years, it has been widely improved, because of the accurate measurements need. This paper aims to review the main improvements performed on the pop‐plot test and analyze a series of results acquired on melt‐cast and cast‐cured high explosives. We first describe the current set‐up with its new metrological devices. Then, we discuss the results and limitations of this test.

楔形试验和单曲线起爆原理在镀铝高炸药中的应用综述

该实验在固体高炸药的引发和过渡研究中具有关键作用。Detonic迫使科学家通过设计相关设置并开发精确的计量设备来改进他们的实验方法。例如，楔形或爆破图试验是在50年代开发的，至今仍是表征高爆炸物的传统实验。然而，70年来，由于需要精确的测量，它已经得到了广泛的改进。本文旨在回顾在爆破试验中所做的主要改进，并分析从熔铸和铸造固化的高炸药获得的一系列结果。我们首先使用其新的计量设备来描述当前设置。然后，我们讨论该测试的结果和局限性。
