The "kiloton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 terajoules (4.184 × 10 12 J). [2] A kiloton of TNT can be visualized as a cube of TNT 8.46 metres (27.8 ft) on a side. The "megaton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules (4.184 × 10 15 J). [3]

The blast wave spread up to 200 mi (320 km) and was estimated to have a TNT equivalent of either 200 to 240 tons or 1.3 to 1.8 kilotons of high-explosives. [ 2 ] [ 18 ] [ 11 ] Resulting fires were detected from NASA's fire monitoring systems as covering an area of approximately 13 km 2 (5 sq mi).
Series 5 tests are used to determine if an article can be assigned to HD1.5 'Very Insensitive Explosive'; series 6 tests are used to determine the classification of an article within Hazard Divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4; and series 7 tests are used to determine if an article can be assigned to HD 1.6 as an article containing predominantly ...
Tritonal is a mixture of 80% TNT and 20% aluminium powder, used in several types of ordnance such as air-dropped bombs. The aluminium increases the total heat output and hence impulse of the TNT – the length of time during which the blast wave is positive. Tritonal is approximately 18% more powerful than TNT alone.
