| 11. | He described it as a " primary explosive " which sets off a chain reaction with other explosive materials.
|
| 12. | An example of such is the lead-free primary explosive copper ( I ) 5-nitrotetrazolate, an alternative to lead azide.
|
| 13. | A detonator is a device that contains primary explosive wich explodes to initiate the detonation of the main explosive.
|
| 14. | The heating process typically takes milliseconds to tens of milliseconds to complete and initiate detonation in the primary explosive.
|
| 15. | Incandescent particles were found most effective for igniting smokeless powder after the primary explosive gasses had heated the powder grains.
|
| 16. | Therefore, minimising the amount of primary explosive that users must store or carry greatly reduces the likelihood of serious accidents.
|
| 17. | Some are used as primary explosives, namely lead picrate or potassium picrate which find their use as primers for cartridge ammunition.
|
| 18. | A blasting cap contains an easy-to-ignite primary explosive that provides the initial activation energy to start the detonation in the main charge.
|
| 19. | If the tool used to crimp the cap is used too close to the explosives, the primary explosive compound can detonate during crimping.
|
| 20. | Silver fulminate is a primary explosive, but has limited use as such due to its extreme sensitivity to impact, heat, pressure and electricity.
