Editing Explosive (section)

===Sensitivity to initiation===
The index of the capacity of an explosive to be initiated into detonation in a sustained manner. It is defined by the power of the detonator, which is certain to prime the explosive to a sustained and continuous detonation. Reference is made to the [[Sellier-Bellot]] scale that consists of a series of 10 detonators, from {{nowrap|n.{{hsp}}1}} to {{nowrap|n.{{hsp}}10}}, each of which corresponds to an increasing charge weight. In practice, most of the explosives on the market today are sensitive to an {{nowrap|n.{{hsp}}8}} detonator, where the charge corresponds to 2&nbsp;grams of [[mercury fulminate]].
