Detonator safety

Out-of-Line Safety. A term descriptive of a method by which detonator safety or bore safety is attained. In the safe condition, one or more components of the fuze or booster expl train are in a non-aligned condition with respect to the other components, so that normal functioning cannot occur Ref OrdTechTerm (1962), 216-R... 

The following are somewhat subjective selections from the vast amount of recent published material on solid proplnts. These short abstracts are grouped under the headings of ignition, combustion, reactivity, detonability safety, analytical procedures data, and miscellaneous. In each grouping the abstracts are arranged chronologically...

For example, fuse detonators may be initiated by safety fuse that is crimped to the detonator (IME recommends that a minimum of 3 ft (0.9 m) of safety fuse be used with each detonator). Safety in the Transportation, Storage, Handling and Use of Explosive Materials 14. Electric detonators are triggered by electric current carried through wires. The power source for nonelectric detonators can be conveyed by detonating cord, detonable gas (infrequently used in North America), and/or shock tube.
