Explosives of this kind are known as deflagrating or low explosives. BkPdr and smoke- less propellants are examples. The simplest device for ignition is Bickford or miner s safety fuse, described in Ref 44, p B112-L. [Pg.733]

Low-Explosive (LE). An explosive which when used in its normal manner deflagrates or burns rather than detonates that is the rate of advance of the reaction zone into the unreacted material is less than the velocity of sound in the unreacted material. LE s include propellants, certain primer mixtures, BkPdr, blasting explosives (See Ref 44, p B202-L), pyrotechnic compositions and delay compositions. Whether an explosive reacts as a high explosive or a low explosive depends on the manner in which it is initiated and confined. For example, a double base propellant when initiated in the usual manner acts as a LE. However, this material can be made to detonate if it is initiated by an intense shock. Conversely, a HE like TNT, can, under certain conditions be ignited by flame and will burn without detonation (Ref 40a, p 97)... [Pg.748]

Squib. 1) (General). Any of various small size pyrotechnic or explosive devices 2) (Specific). A small explosive device similar in appearance to a detonator, but loaded with low explosive, so that its output is primarily heat (flash). Usually electrically initiated, and provided to initiate action of burning type munitions, pyrotechnic devices and rocket propellants. An electrical squib consists essentially of a tube containing a flammable material, and a small charge of powder compressed around a fine resistance wire connected to electrical leads or terminals (Ref 40a, p 135)... [Pg.752]

It has also been traditional to distinguish HE from low or propellant explosives. Here again the distinction is not clear-cut. Although a low explosive such as Black Powder probably cannot detonate, most smokeless powders can. Conversely, most, secondary, ex-plosives can be made to deflagrate. The main... [Pg.96]
