BS EN 13763 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13763-23 is the twenty-third part of the BS EN 13763 multi-series and discusses detonators and relays.
BS EN 13763-23 specifies a method for determining the shock-wave velocity of shock tubes for use with non-electric detonators.
BS EN 13763-23 on determining the shock-wave velocity of the shock tube is useful for:
A shock tube in its simplest form is a long tube with closed ends separated into two sections, namely, the driver section and the driven section, usually by a diaphragm. BS EN 13763-23 provides you guidance with the method for determining the shock-wave velocity of shock tubes for use with non-electric detonators.
BS EN 13763-23 guides you with the apparatus and test pieces required for the test. BS EN 13763-23 guides you with the test procedure and test report. BS EN 13763-23 helps to improve the quality of the shock tube.
