The strength of an explosive is related to its energy content and is therefore regarded as a measure of its ability to do useful work... In the past, the strength of a particular dynamite type explosive was determined by comparing its capacity to deflect a ballistic mortar with that of Blasting Gelatine or TNT.... In the trade, two ratings of strength are used... Some manufacturers rate their explosives on weight strength and others on a cartridge strength basis. Some do not even rate them at all in their literature, but refer to them under a trade name... The strength of blasting agents is expressed on a different basis. 3, record 2, English, - strength

La puissance d'un explosif est l'énergie utilisable pour un effet déterminé, de destruction ou d'abattage par exemple : cette puissance est fonction de l'énergie dégagée par l'explosion elle-même, et sa valeur maximale théorique est donc la chaleur d'explosion définie plus haut. Pratiquement, on détermine cette puissance par des essais comparatifs, normalisés, d'une manière relative par rapport à un explosif témoin (en général la mélinite) : coefficient d'utilisation pratique, travail au mortier balistique, épreuve de la bulle [...] 3, record 2, French, - puissance
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La puissance ne doit pas être confondue avec la brisance qui se définit par l'aptitude d'un explosif à fragmenter plus ou moins fort, à masse égale, le matériau placé dans le voisinage immédiat de son lieu de détonation [...] 3, record 2, French, - puissance
