BS EN 13631-6 specifies a method of determining the resistance to water of cartridged or bulk high explosives for civil uses, which are designed to be used for blasting operations in wet conditions.
BS EN 13631-5 on determining the resistance to water of cartridged or bulk high explosives for civil uses is useful for:
High explosives have a fair to excellent water resistance as compared to low-density explosives and blasting agents that have little or none. BS EN 13631-5 provides you with the method to determine the resistance to water of cartridged or bulk high explosives.
BS EN 13631-5 provides you with terms and definitions for the functionality of this document. BS EN 13631-5 provides you with a preliminary test for cartridged explosives and guides you with the preparation of notched test pieces.
