Mining | A. The velocity with which the shock wave traverses an explosive charge on detonation b. The velocity of detonation of an explosive was previously determined by what is known as the Dautriche test. The basis of this test is that a length of Cordtex detonating fuse detonates at a uniform speed, and if the two ends of a length of Cordtex are detonated simultaneously, the detonation waves will meet at the middle of the length of fuse. Similarly, if the two ends are detonated at different times, the distance from the middle of the fuse to the point where the two detonation waves meet is directly proportional to the interval of time between the detonations of the two ends of the Cordtex fuse. Furthermore, if the distance can be measured, the interval of time between the detonation can be calculated, since the velocity of detonation of Cordtex is known.Syn:Dautriche test. (references) |
