If you are referring to the propogation rate of the explosion of the det cord, since it is primarily RDX based, the rate should be in the 7,000 m/s range.

I know you have a LOT more experience with the stuff than I ever will, but I believe it's actually something on the order of 8,700 m/s. At least that's what I was taught in an advanced HAZMAT course I took. However, that was the propagation rate for RDX itself in a confined space.....like I said, you're the expert here, but I would like to know which is correct just out of my own curiosity.
