What is BS EN 13630-10- Initiating capability of detonating cords about?
BS EN 13630 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13630-10 is the tenth part of the BS EN 13630 multi-series and discusses initiating capability of detonating cords.
BS EN 13630-10 specifies a method for determining the initiating capability of flexible plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords, for civil use.
BS EN 13630-10 applies only to those detonating cords, having a maximum grammage of 40 g/m, that is used to initiate another detonating cord or a high explosive.
Who is BS EN 13630-10- Initiating capability of detonating cords for?
BS EN 13630-10 on determining the initiating capability of flexible plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords is useful for:
- Detonators and relays manufacturers
- Explosive accessories manufacturers
- Explosive manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13630-10- Initiating capability of detonating cords?
Detonating cord is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate. With the PETN exploding at a rate of approximately 6400 m/s, any common length of detonation cord appears to explode instantaneously.
BS EN 13630-10 provides you with methods to determine the initiating capability of flexible plastic-coated detonating cords and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords. BS EN 13630-10 guides you with the apparatus and test pieces required for the method. BS EN 13630-10 guides you with the procedure and calculation of the results. BS EN 13630-10 helps you to manufacture high-quality detonating cords.
