The invention relates to the technical field of material performance testing, and provides a device and method for testing the 
friction sensitivity of explosives and powders. The testing device comprises a sample loading 
system, an explosion chamber, a 
pendulum bob mechanism, a temperature and 
humidity control system, a pressure loading 
system, and a rack. According to the invention, the influences of the temperature, 
humidity, speed and pressure are considered comprehensively, the influence of adverse factors of 
friction loss is reduced, the test control of temperature and 
humidity is increased, and the accuracy and 
controllability of speed are improved; and the influence of contact materials and 
surface roughness is also considered. More comprehensive and accurate 
friction sensitivity data can be obtained, and the influence of all parameters on friction safety in the actual explosive production and 
processing technology is reflected. The device and method are suitable for various explosive 
monomer semi-finished products, new components, new formulas, new types, medicaments, slurries and tablets. 
Friction sensitivity data obtained through the method can also be used for supporting and guiding 
mathematical model establishment, numerical calculation, analog 
simulation, new formulas, new equipment, new processes and other research and development work.
