Excerpt from The Sand Test for Determining the Strength of Detonators
Fulminate of mercury may be considered as a typical example of an initial detonating agent. It is the best known of this class of explosives, and, either alone or mixed with other substances, it forms the charge of most of the commercial detonators or electric detonators used in mining and other engineering operations in this country.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this valuable book, the author presents a systematic study of the effectiveness of detonators. Developed from groundbreaking research, this book presents a method for determining the strength, and thus effectiveness, of detonators. The author explores the theoretical aspects of detonators and their effects as well as the practical applications of this knowledge. A comprehensive exploration of sand testing methods, readers will find detailed accounts of each test, including observed outcomes. Other topics examined include the use of reinforced detonators and the use of various compositions for stabilizing detonators. Through rigorous testing, the author presents an overview of commercial detonators, discussing differences in their compositions and the significance of variations in detonator weight and charge. The book concludes with an important discussion of the influence that detonators have on the detonation of various explosive compounds. Scientifically rigorous yet highly applicable, this book is a valuable resource for experts in the field, from explosives chemists to detonation researchers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
