Cyclotol is a melt-castable high explosive composed of RDX and TNT, and typically a small amount of HMX. The term Cyclotol may apply to other mixtures of these components, but for the present work, experiments were conducted using Cyclotol containing 80 wt% RDX and HMX and 20 wt% TNT (we will refer to mixtures of RDX and TNT using the notation RDX%/TNT%). In the current effort, we report detonation velocity measurements at several diameters for unconfined rate sticks. The results are compared to prior diameter-effect data for Cyclotol 77/23, and a density-corrected Eyring-form fit for all available rate-stick data is reported.
