A wide range piezoelectric pressure gauge was used to measure the pressure at different position in some DDT experiments on three kinds of energetic materials (JO-9159, composition B, and one propellant). The peak value of pressure for JO-9159 (ρ=1.840 g·cm^-3) is 2.311 GPa (d=40 mm) and 10 GPa (d=430 mm). The peak value of pressure for composition B (ρ=1.597 g·cm^-3) is 1.23 GPa (d=40 mm) and 22.3 GPa (d=430 mm),and that for composition B (ρ=1.681 g·cm^-3) is 2.311 GPa (d=40 mm) and 2.332 GPa (d=430 mm). The propellant (ρ=1.057 g·cm^-3) is 1.0 GPa (d=40 mm) and 22 GPa (d=430 mm). Results show that the pressure gauge can be used in some DDT experiments of solid explosive or propellant. The technology is useful to explore the pressure change during the DDT process,especially to measure the pressure change during the process of burning. The maximum pressure measured by the piezoelectric pressure gauge is up to 10 GPa.
