What is BS EN 13630-4 - Determine the sensitiveness to the impact of detonating cords about?
BS EN 13630 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13630-4 is the fourth part of the BS EN 13630 multi-series and discusses detonating cords and safety fuses.
BS EN 13630-4 specifies a method for determining the sensitiveness to impact of flexible, plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords for civil uses when subjected to an impact the energy of 10 J.
Who is BS EN 13630-4 - Determine the sensitiveness to the impact of detonating cords for?
BS EN 13630-4 on determining the sensitiveness to the impact of detonating cords is useful for:
- Detonators and relays manufacturers
- Explosive accessories manufacturers
- Explosive manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13630-4 - Determine the sensitiveness to the impact of detonating cords?
Detonating cord is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate. With the PETN exploding at a rate of approximately 6400 m/s, any common length of detonation cord appears to explode instantaneously.
BS EN 13630-4 provides you with guidance on methods for determining the sensitiveness to impact of flexible, plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords for civil uses. BS EN 13630-4 guides you with the apparatus and test pieces required for the method. BS EN 13630-4 guides you with the procedure and test report. BS EN 13630-4 helps you to manufacture high-quality detonating cords.
