Initiating device

Although a significant quantity of this information has been obtained, initiating devices operating on this principle and known as friction primers appear to be anachronous... [Pg.863]

A simple nonelectrical initiating device which can be activated by pressure or by a trip wire. [Pg.16]

Initiating device Another term for primary explosive. [Pg.23]

Explosives are generally detonated with the assistance of initiating devices (initiators) that are activated by external stimulation sources (friction, spark, or flame), and may include (1) primers, (2) detonators, (3) electric detonators, (4) safety fuses, and (5) detonating cord. [Pg.50]

This paper reviews many exptl studies carried out over the last decade involving nonsteady detonation waves produced in a variety of mixtures, under various geometric constraints of the containers, and with the use of various initiating devices. Review includes recent advances of the so-called "cylindrical detonations that contributed significantly toward a qualitative understanding of the divergent as well as convergent wave phe-...

Before proceeding with the description of these devices, there is given a Glossary of Ordnance and other terms which will be used in the text of this section. It is done in order to make the subject of initiating devices more comprehensive. If an item mentioned in the Glossary is already described in one of the volumes of this Encyclopedia (listed here as Ref 43 for Vol 1, Ref 44 for Vol 2 and Ref 48 for Vol 3), only its cross-reference is given...
