Mining | An electric blasting cap with a delay element between the priming and detonating composition to permit firing of explosive charges in sequence with but one application of the electric current. It detonates about 1 to 2 s after the electric current has passed through the bridge. It is made in two kinds, first and second delay, and is used in connection with regular, waterproof, or submarine electric blasting caps for blasting in tunnels, shafts, etc., where it is desirable to have charges fired in succession without the necessity of the blaster returning betweeen shots.
