What is BS EN 13630-6 - Resistance to the tension of detonating cords about?
BS EN 13630 discusses explosives for civil uses. BS EN 13630-6 is the sixth part of the BS EN 13630 multi-series and discusses resistance to the tension of detonating cords.
BS EN 13630-6 specifies a method for the determination of the resistance to the tension of flexible, plastics coated detonating cords, and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords for civil uses, with a core of explosive having a loading of not more than 40 g/m.
Who is BS EN 13630-6- Resistance to the tension of detonating cords for?
BS EN 13630-6 on resistance to the tension of detonating cords is useful for:
- Detonators and relays manufacturers
- Explosive accessories manufacturers
- Explosive manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13630-6- Resistance to the tension 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 13630-6 provides you with a method for determining the resistance to the tension of flexible, plastics coated detonating cords, and flexible fibrous-over braided detonating cords. BS EN 13630-6 guides you with the apparatus and test pieces required for the method. BS EN 13630-6 guides you with the procedure and calculation of the results. BS EN 13630-6 helps you to manufacture high-quality detonating cords.
