This paper will explain a test configuration for the diagnostic of the shock wave attenuation of homogeneous and sandwiched inert materials, which measures the delay time between the detonation of a donor and an acceptor charge, as well as the detonation profile in the acceptor charge. Applying the double‐flash‐gap technique, the analyzed pressure levels render possible conclusions about the existence of divergent or convergent detonation waves.
