11. a ISGT stands for Intermediate Scale Gap Test : a confined F40 mm-L200mm substance acceptor is stimulated by a F40-L 40 mm RDX/Wax (95/5,1.6 indensity) donor. The number of acetate cards (0.19 mm in thickness) under which no detonation is obtained, is the measure of the shock sensitivity of the acceptor substance.
12. b ELSGT stands for Expanded Large Scale Gap Test : a confined F73.2mm-L279mm substance acceptor is stimulated by a F95.3-L47.6mm RDX/Wax (95/5.1.6 indensity) donor. The thickness of the PMMA barrier under which no detonation is obtained, is the measure of the shock sensitivity of the acceptor substance.
13. c EIDS stands for Extremely Insensitive Detonating Substance
