BS EN 13763 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13763-2 is the second part of the BS EN 13763 multi-series and discusses detonators and relays.
BS EN 13763-2 specifies a method for determining the thermal stability of electric detonators, non-electric detonators, surface connectors, detonating cord relays and shock tubes for use with non–electric detonators.
BS EN 13763-2 on determining the thermal stability of detonators is useful for:
Thermal stability can be defined as the time during which a compound can be at the storage temperature or in practical use without significant loss of its performance properties. Real stability is known only for explosives, which have been widely used in practice for many decades.
BS EN 13763-2 provides you guidance on the method of determining the thermal stability of electric detonators, non-electric detonators, surface connectors, detonating cord relays and shock tubes for use with non–electric detonators.
BS EN 13763-2 provides you guidance for the apparatus and test pieces required for the test. BS EN 13763-2 helps you with the test procedure and test report. BS EN 13763-2 helps manufacture high-quality detonators.
