Abstract
As damages for conventional weapons are depended on blast shock and fragments, so thermobaric explosive gets more and more attentions when it appears. In this paper, we measured fireball temperature of TNT and non-ideal explosives by colorimetric thermometer firstly, and then analyze and compare the temperature of blast fireball of different kinds and mass explosives. The results show that surface temperature of blast fireball of TNT and HL-01 are 2000K and 2600K respectively, and the latter is about 30% higher than the former. The surface temperature of blast fireball is related to the properties of explosives, while it has less influence by explosives quality.
