With an evaluation method based on damage effect on plate and over-pressure and impulse criteria, the evaluation experiments of damage power of 3 kinds of FAE warheads were carried out. The TNT equivalent masses of FAE warheads were calculated. Experimental results show that the deflection of plate subject to 1# FAE becomes larger than that of RDX/TNT with same mass when the distance becomes longer than 3.8 m. At 3.8-4.2 m, the TNT equivalent mass of 1# FAE is about 2.0. At 13-18 m, the deflection of plate subject to 2# FAE is about 1.4 times of 3# FAE, the TNT equivalent masses are 3.75 and 2.96 respectively.
