Abstract Several single‐base, double‐base, and triple‐base gun propellants were analyzed by three different methods: Conventional analytical methods (TL 1376–600) High‐pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) Derivative spectroscopy.The results obtained by these methods agree well and show a good reproducibility. However, compared with each other, the chromatographic methods are not only more rapid and more flexible than the conventional wet chemical analysis, they enable a quantitative determination of blasting oil mixtures like nitroglycerin or diglycoldinitrate. The same holds for many other explosives, stabilizers and stabilizer reaction products.
