Abstract: A water-filled pressure chamber (7) loaded by conventional pumps at pressures of several thousand bars is used to isostatically press explosive charges. Inside this pressure chamber (7) is a compression mold (6) having an inner/outer mold (1) consisting of several components. Explosives in the mold are subjected through an elastic sleeve (3) to liquid pressure (p), so that the interior pressure in the chamber will be nearly isostatic. Following pressure relief, Dimensionally accurate and homogeneous precision explosive charges are obtained.The present invention also includes the process using the pressure chamber. The invention increases manufacturing output and quality of explosive charges so produced.
