Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Nitramex and Nitramon Explosives are compositions of various chemical compound s. They are explosives based on ammonium nitrate and other ingredients such as paraffin wax , aluminum and dinitrotoluene . The binding of these additional ingredients creates a more stable explosive. Nitramex and Nitramon have been replaced by more modern high explosives based on ammonium nitrate such as ANFO . Nitramon A typical nitramon formula contains approximately 92 percent ammonium nitrate, 4 percent dinitrotoluene, and 4 percent paraffin wax. Nitramex Nitramex has much the same formula as nitramon with the addition of trinitrotoluene or TNT. This explosive was used in the removal of Ripple Rock by tunneling and placing large quantities of Nitramex 2H. This is known as one of the largest non nuclear explosions to mankind.

Sprengel explosives are a generic class of materials invented by Hermann Sprengel in the 1870s. ref cite book author Messel, Rudolph title Hermann Johann Philipp Sprengel journal Journal of the Chemical Society year 1907 volume 91 pages 661 &ndash 663 url http www.rsc.org Publishing Journals CT article.asp?doi CT9079100660 ref They consist of stoichiometric mixtures of strong oxidiser s and reactive fuel s, mixed just prior to use in order to enhance safety. Either the oxidiser or the fuel, or both, should be a liquid to facilitate mixing, and intimate contact between the materials for a fast reaction rate . Sprengel suggested nitric acid , nitrate s and chlorate s as oxidisers, and nitroaromatic s e.g. nitrobenzene as fuels. Other Sprengel explosives used at various times include charcoal with liquid oxygen an oxyliquit , Rackarock , and ANFO ammonium nitrate oxidiser mixed with a fuel oil fuel , normally diesel kerosene or nitromethane. Eventually ANFO supplanted all others because its oxidiser was the safest, and due to its widespread use as a fertiliser in agriculture also the cheapest. Rackarock consisted of potassium chlorate and nitrobenzene . It was provided in the form of permeable cartridges of the chlorate, which were placed in wire baskets and dipped in the nitrobenzene for a few seconds before use. For underwater use, it could be provided in cans instead. It was famously used in the massive submarine demolition of a navigational hazard in Long Island Sound in 1885. The charge of over a hundred tonne s of explosive laid in tunnel s 20 metre s below sea level destroyed approximately 600,000 tonnes of rock, and created a wave 30 m high.

Relative effectiveness factor or R.E. factor is a measurement of an explosive s power for military demolition s purposes. It is used to compare an explosive s effectiveness relative to TNT by weight only. This enables engineers to substitute one explosive for another when they are calculating blasting equations that are designed for TNT. For example, if a timber cutting charge requires 1 kg of TNT to work, it would take 0.6 kg of PETN or 1.25 kg of ANFO to have the same effect.

An explosive booster acts as a bridge between a low energy explosive and a low sensitivity but typically high energy explosive such as trinitrotoluene TNT . It increases the explosive shockwave from an initiating explosive to the degree sufficient to detonate the secondary charge. Unlike C 4 28explosive 29 C4 plastic explosive , not all explosives can be detonated simply by inserting a detonator and firing it. An initiator such as shock tube , cannon Fuse explosives fuse or even a conventional detonator does not deliver sufficient shock to detonate charges comprising Trinitrotoluene TNT , Composition B , ANFO and many other high explosives . Therefore, some form of booster is required to amplify the energy released by the detonator so that the main charge will detonate. Tetryl was once a very popular chemical for booster charges, particularly during World War II , but has been largely superseded by other compositions e.g. a small cylinder or pellet of pure RDX or PETN slightly larger than the actual detonator into which the detonator itself is inserted. Note booby trap s and improvised explosive device s frequently use plastic explosive as the booster, for example, some semtex stuffed into the empty fuze pocket of a 120mm mortar shell . When encountered in connection with artillery shells or air dropped bombs, a booster charge is sometimes referred to as the gaine . See detonators . At a purely technical level, explosive boosters are not required to initiate high explosives a sufficiently large detonator would suffice. However, there are good reasons why this method is not used. Firstly, there is a major safety issue detonators are by definition more sensitive to shock and heat than an explosive booster, so minimising the amounts that users must store or carry greatly reduces the likelihood of accidents. An additional economic reason is that chemical compounds used in detonators e.g. lead styphnate are comparatively expensive to produce and encapsulate when compared ... more details

Rock blasting is the controlled use of explosives or other methods such as gas pressure pyrotechnics or plasma processess to excavate, break down or remove rock geology rock . It is practised most often in mining , quarrying and civil engineering such as dam construction. The use of explosives in mining goes back to the year 1627 , when gunpowder was first used in place of mechanical tools in the Hungary Hungarian now Slovakia n town of Bansk tiavnica . The innovation spread quickly throughout Europe and the Americas. In 1990, 2.1 million tonnes 2.32 million short tons of commercial explosives were consumed in the USA , representing an estimated expenditure of 3.5 to 4 billion 1993 dollars on blasting. Australia had the highest explosives consumption that year at 500 million tonnes 551 million short tons , with Scandinavia Scandinavian countries another leader in rock blasting Persson et al. 1994 1 .

Unreferenced date July 2009 A triggering sequence , also called an explosive train , is a sequence of events that culminates in the detonator detonation of explosives . For safety reasons, most widely used high explosives are difficult to detonate. A primary explosive of higher sensitivity is used to trigger a uniform and predictable detonation of the main body of the explosive. Although the primary explosive itself is generally a more sensitive and expensive compound, it is only used in small quantities and in relatively safely packaged forms. By design there are low explosives and high explosive s made such that the low explosives are highly sensitive i.e. their Figure of Insensitivity is low and high explosives are comparatively insensitive. This not only affords inherent safety to the usage of explosives during handling and transport, but also necessitates an explosive triggering sequence or explosive train. The explosive triggering sequence or the explosive train essentially consists of an initiator , an intermediary and the high explosive . For example, a match will not cause plastic explosive to explode, but it will light a fuse which will detonate a primary explosive that will shock a secondary high explosive and cause it to detonate. In this way, even very insensitive explosives may be used the primary detonates a booster charge that then detonates the main charge. Triggering sequences are used in the mining industry for the detonation of ANFO and other cheap, bulk, and insensitive explosives that can not be fired by only a blasting cap or similar item. Low Explosive Train An example of a low explosive train is a rifle cartridge, which consists of a Explosive primer primer consisting of a small amount of primary explosive primary high explosive which initiates the explosive train an igniter which is initiated by the primer and creates a flame that ignites the propellant a propellant consisting of a secondary explosive secondary low explosive that emits a la ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Shock sensitivity is a comparative measure of the sensitivity to sudden compression by impact or blast of an explosive chemical compound . Determination of the shock sensitivity of a material intended for practical use is one important aspect of safety testing of explosives . A variety of tests and indices are in use, of which one of the more common is the Rotter Impact Test with results expressed as FoI Figure of Insensitivity . At least four other impact tests are in common use, while various gap tests are used to measure sensitivity to blast shock. Julius Peters KG is a notable German company which manufactures testing apparatus for these tests. Sensitivities vary widely A few materials such as nitrogen triiodide cannot be touched at all without detonation detonating , and so are of purely academic interest. Some other compounds with a high sensitivity to shock, such as nitroglycerin and acetone peroxide , may detonate from a firm jolt and so cannot be legally transported in pure form. Acetone peroxide is used only by terrorists, in which field it is notorious for the number of times it has killed those who attempted to use it against others. A number of methods are known to desensitise nitroglycerine so that it can be transported for Glyceryl trinitrate pharmacology medical uses , and it is also incorporated into other less sensitive explosives, such as dynamite s and gelignite s. Many practical commercial materials of intermediate sensitivity, such as gelignites and water gel explosive s, can be safely handled as they will not explode from casual shocks such as being dropped or lightly knocked by a tool. However they may explode if struck forcefully by a metal tool, and would certainly explode in the barrel if they were used in an artillery shell projectile shell . Reliable initiation of such materials requires the small explosion of a detonator . Still less sensitive materials such as blasting agent s like ANFO , o ... more details
