Synopsis
How explosives are chosen for engineering and mining work Learn the key factors that determine which explosive fits a given job, from rock type to safety concerns.
This practical bulletin explains the main explosive classes used in quarrying and mining, and the tests that show how they perform under real conditions. It focuses on how gases, temperature, moisture, and timing affect efficiency and safety, guiding readers to pick the right class for each project.
- How different explosives behave in rock and in wet or cold environments
- What tests reveal about energy, disruption, and propulsion
- How submersion, freezing, and aging influence detonation and performance
- How practical measurements guide safer, more effective blasting plans
Ideal for engineers, mining professionals, and students seeking a clear, evidence-based overview of explosive selection and testing.
