Abstract
In this chapter I will mention a few of the methods used to measure blast wave parameters. Some measurement techniques described are of an historic nature and demonstrate the ingenuity of the people asked to make quantifiable measurements of the various parameters associated with blast waves. This is meant to be a survey of methods and is intended to provide the reader with a general knowledge of measurement techniques.
