The solubility of β-HMX in acetone + water mixed solvents was measured using a synthetic method. The laser monitoring observation technique was used to determine the disappearance of the solid phase in a solid + liquid mixture. All data were measured at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures ranging from (293.15 to 313.15) K. The effects of solvent composition and temperature on the solubility are discussed. The experimental data were correlated with an empirical equation.
