Concerning safety, there was no better way than to introduce the quantitative risk eoneept and risk/cost criteria. This was a completely new method that was possible beeause the civilian laws and guidelines did not focus on the safety of ammunition and explosives in the military area at that time. The Swiss Explosives Law [1] released (and still releases) the military from its substantive contents but commits the government to issuing its own regulations. [Pg.263]

Hexonite (Swiss). Hexonites are plastic explosives, proposed by Stettbacher, consisting of RDX and NG, with or without Collodion Cotton. For instance ... [Pg.93]

Kinetite (Kinetit or Kinenite-Swiss). One of the earliest gelatinous (plastic) expls which contd no NG. It was patented in 1884 by Petry and Fallenstein and was used extensively at the end of the last century in Ger and other European countries. It was prepd by gelatinizing Nitrobenzene or Nitrotoluene with Collodion Cotton, and impregnating this plastic mass with sulfur, K chlorate and other ingredients. Sulfur was later replaced by Sb penta-sulfide. Its compn was NB 16.0 to 21.0, Collodion Cotton 0.75 to 1.0, K chlorate 82.5 to 75.0, Sb2Ss and/or K nitrate 3.0 to 1.0%. The function of the Sb pentasulfide was to render the explosion more regular and more complete... [Pg.550]

Landskrona Powder. Swiss proplnt, invented by E. Schenker before 1890 and manufd in Landskrona, Sweden. It was made by gelatinizing pure NC with amyl acetate, and was used by the Swiss and Danish armed forces Ref L. Gody, Traite des Matieres Explosives , Namur (1902), 641... [Pg.562]

Snowboarders in Utah s Little Cottonwood Canyon may be especially interested in the exploding Swiss cheese and Easter egg episodes. Some of them have been carrying out their own little experiments with the explosive potential of carbon dioxide. Avalanche is a constant danger in the area. In order to trigger avalanches at a time when no one is around, local experts detonate explosives. Some snowboarders, who love to explore uncharted territory but do not relish being swept away by an... [Pg.166]

Swiss Permissible Explosives It does not seem that these expls have ever been manufd in Switzerland. Accdg to Dr A. Stett-bacher (private communication dated 9 July 1954), the so-called Sicherheitssprengstoffe" manufd in Switzerland are safe to handle and transport, but not against firedamp and/or coal dust, and there are no Testing Galleries in Switzerland for permissible expls United States Permissible Explosives, Accdg... [Pg.238]
