Solid pack electric blasting caps use a thin bridgewire in direct contact (hence solid pack) with a primary explosive, which is heated by electric current and causes the detonation of the primary …

azide is most often implemented as the main primary explosive fill in detonators and blasting caps. Lead styphnate, on the other hand, is mainly found in primers and stab mixes where a …

Blasting cap, device that initiates the detonation of a charge of a high explosive by subjecting it to percussion by a shock wave. In strict usage, the term detonator refers to an easily ignited low …

Delay electric blasting caps are the most commonly used means for obtaining rotational firing. They are of two types: (1) the so-called regular delay, which has been in use since the early …

Detonators (also called blasting caps) are used to trigger an explosive device in applications such as mining, quarrying and civil engineering. Commercial explosives are made stable and safe …

electric blasting caps, avalanche blasting should not be conducted when there is evidence of a strong static electricity field (cumulonimbus clouds, electric buzzing). Cap-and-Fuse - A cap …

In construction, blasting caps are used for tasks such as excavating foundations, demolishing structures, and tunneling. Delay blasting caps are particularly useful for minimizing vibrations …

Detonating cord contains a high explosive, such as PETN. It was used for trunk lines and downlines. Lines can be simply knotted together. It is initiated with a blasting cap (electric or …

blasting circuits, will likely cause electric blasting caps to fire. The purpose of this instrument is to allow the blaster to check the connections and condition of the caps, wires, connections and …

A small, electrically activated explosive charge that explodes a larger charge. Detonators, also called caps, seismic caps, or blasting caps, are used for seismic acquisition with an explosive …
