BS EN 13630-11:2002

What is BS EN 13630-11- Determine the velocity of detonation of detonating cords about?

BS EN 13630 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13630-11 is the eleventh part of the BS EN 13630 multi-series and discusses detonating cords and safety fuses.

BS EN 13630-11 specifies a method for determining the velocity of detonation of detonating cords.

Who is BS EN 13630-11- Determine the velocity of detonation of detonating cords for?

BS EN 13630-11 on determining the velocity of detonation of detonating cords is useful for:

• Detonators and relays manufacturers
• Explosive accessories manufacturers
• Explosive manufacturers
• Quality control personnel

Why should you use BS EN 13630-11- Determine the velocity of detonation 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 13630-11 provides you guidance on the method for determining the velocity of detonation of detonating cords. BS EN 13630-11 guides you with the apparatus and test pieces required for the method. BS EN 13630-11 guides you with the procedure and calculation of the results. BS EN 13630-11 helps you to manufacture high-quality detonating cords.
