- Brisance [r]: The shattering power of an explosive; a measure of the rate at which it develops its maximum detonation velocity; usually expressed with respect to TNT (explosive), which has a brisance of 1.00 [e]
- Explosive power [r]: The total power available from an explosive, measured with various tests of its ability to move mass rather than shatter it [e]
