Gelatin, blasting

Methylnitropropanolnitrate readily gelatinizes collodion cotton and, to a lesser extent, higher-nitrogen NC. Its explosive power is comparable to that of TNT, and about 75% of that of blasting gelatin. It is very insensitive to detonation, and for this reason its sand test value could not be detd...

Military Blasting Gelatines. Expls used in Austria between 1878 and 1892 contg 96p of blasting gelatin (NG 90, Collodion Cotton 10%) and 4p of camphor. A similar expl was used in Russia during WWI for filling trench mortar rounds. [Pg.148]

K chlorate and aromatic hydrocarbons (such as naphthalene), and not more than 12% nitro-hydrocarbons (but no trinitro compds), the remainder consisting of paraffins, fatty oils, flour or other combustibles. It might also contain not more than 4% blasting gelatin. The prefixes Gesteins- and Wetter- were applied if the expls were intended for rock or coal mine use Ref Marshall, Diet (1920), 65...

Expl Power is always measured in relative terms, ie, relative to a standard expl and expressed as a percentage. For military explosives the consensus standard is TNT, and for commercial expls the standard is usually Blasting Gelatin (see Vol 2, B211-R). Three measurement methods are in common use ... [Pg.841]

Notes It was proposed for use as an antifreeze addition to Dynamites. A blasting gelatine consisting of 93% 1,3-Propanediol Dinitrate and 7% collodion cotton gave a Pb block expansion of 470ml, or about 80% of the effect produced by the same gelatine contg NG... [Pg.877]

Equally severe in practice is the requirement of the break 2 test. To pass this test the explosive must have a low power when fired in an unconfined condition. The actual power has not been quantitatively measured, but is probably in the region of 15% blasting gelatine. To achieve such a result, it is necessary deliberately to design the explosive in such a way that only partial reaction occurs in the unstemmed condition. Such partial reaction can be achieved by either of two ways. [Pg.86]

Bulk strength. The strength per unit volume of an explosive, usually expressed as a percentage of the strength per unit volume of blasting gelatine. [Pg.197]
