Base detonating fuse

Spitback Fuze. A fuze located in the nose of a shaped charge munition. When initiated by impact it produces a detonation which is directed toward the base element which detonates the main expl charge. The combination of point impact fuze and base element is referred to as a point initiating base detonating (PIBD) fusing system... [Pg.427]

Induction time. In firing electric detonators, the time between the breaking of the fuse wire and the detonation of the base charge (see p. 112). [Pg.199]

Detonators are used to detonate high explosives. Stab detonators are initiated by sharp firing pins and are used in explosive trains of different types of fuses. Flash detonators are initiated by flames produced by safety fuses, primers, or delay elements. A special type of flash detonator ignited by the flame of a safety fuse is called a blasting cap. Detonators are primarily composed of three types of explosives including sinoxid mixtures, lead azide-based mixtures, and mercury fulminate-based mixtures. [Pg.50]
