Cordeau detonant fuse

A length of cordeau (detonating fuse) of previously accurate detd velocity (such as 7200m/sec for PETN fuse), using the Mettegang or other type of chronograph, serves as a standard. Although the Dautriche test,... [Pg.94]

From about 1930 onwards a new type of detonating fuse appeared on the market. This consisted of a core of PETN with textile and plastic coatings. Compared with Cordeau, this detonating fuse has several advantages in being more flexible, more easily jointed, lighter in weight and cheaper to manufacture. Under such names as Cordtex and Primacord it has completely replaced Cordeau in normal use. [Pg.121]

The first type to be introduced consisted of PETN or RDX in a metal sheath drawn down to a small diameter. More recently, cord made by the wet process, covered with plastic instead of metal, has been introduced in North America and is available in charges down to 0-6 g m. The methods of manufacture of these cords are believed to be similar to that of Cordeau and the wet detonating fuse process described above. [Pg.124]

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]

Detonating fuse is called cordeau detonant in the French language, and cordeau has become the common American designation for it. Cordeau has been made from lead tubes filled with trinitrotoluene, from aluminum or block tin tubes filled with picric acid, and from tubes of woven fabric filled with nitrocellulose or with pentaerythrite tetranitrate (PETN). In this country the Ensign-Bickford Company, at Simsbury, Connecticut, manufac-... [Pg.11]
