Excerpt from Analysis of Detonating and Priming Mixtures
All explosives should be kept neutral, as Slight acidity causes many compounds to become much more sensitive to shock or heat.
When an unknown explosive compound or mixture is being dried, the temperature should be kept below 75° G., as some substances tend to decompose and become very sensitive at higher temperatures and others are volatile enough to cause considerable loss.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers practical methods for analyzing detonating, priming compositions, and explosives for use in analytical chemistry. It provides analysts with proven procedures for examining and quantifying materials and mixtures used in pyrotechnics and similar applications. The author, an expert in explosives chemistry with the Bureau of Mines, details separation techniques, calculations, precautions for safe handling, and thorough examinations of explosive components. These methods have been developed in-house, tested in the explosives chemical laboratory, and utilized in the field. The information provided adheres to the limits of variation in mixtures themselves, and thus is highly accurate within its noted constraints. In addition to primary methods, this volume also offers a wealth of information on secondary procedures for situations in which engineers need to calculate quantities from supplied data. This book is valuable to chemists and chemical engineers working in the manufacturing and quality control of explosives, and serves as a comprehensive guide to precise analysis. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282200046_0
