Cordeau detonant cord

Detonating cords contain high explosives and are used to detonate high explosive charges from a safe distance. The first detonating cord syn. detonating fuse was the Cordeau detonant cord, a lead tube filled with a TNT core... [Pg.121]

Eclair. A French detonating cord ("cordeau detonant ), consisting of a 5mm diam core of PETN (9.9g per meter) and two white threads serving as pilots. The core is covered with a thin cellulosic film and fabric. Its external diam is 5.5mm and detonation rate 6355 to 6745m/sec. Earlier French cords are listed in Encycl, Vol 3, p C530-L Refs 1) A.

An early French Detonating Cord (called Cordeau detonant, module 1902) consisted of a tin tube filled with a PA core. The external diam of tube was 5.4 mm and the vel of deton of the cord was 6690 6745 m/sec. About 1907 L. Lheure of France introduced commercial Cordeau. It consisted of a lead tube filled with TNT or Tetryl. [Pg.313]

A Hexanitromannite Cordeau, proposed by Sebert Fritsch to the Poudrerie a Sevran-Livry, developed a vel of deton of 7000 m/sec, but was considered too expensive too sensitive for coml use (Refs 3 5) More recently the SA D Explosifs et de Produits Chimiques manufd a Cordeau consisting of flat hollow Pb bands filled with Tetryl. It is claimed that flat Cordeau is easier to introduce into a bore-hole than round Cordeau. Other models of Fr Detonating Cords employing a PETN core a fabric cover are called Cortex, OD 4.8mm, gms of expl/m 8 vel of deton 5990-6410 m/sec and Eclair, OD 5.5 mm, gms of expl/m 11 vel of deton 6355-6745 m/sec.

Cordeau Maissin.Maissin, in 1888, patented in France the use of granulated NC as a core of flexible detonating cord (cordeau detonant souple in Fr ),which was prepd in the same manner as the safety fuse of Bickford (See Vol 2, p B112-L of this Encycl). This cord was examined by CSE (Commission des Substances Explosives) and found to be satisfactory from the point of view of performance (Ref 2) (See also Refs 3 5)... [Pg.314]
