    Ordinary and Electric Detonator

    Uploaded by

    Monith Elyon
    Electric detonators can be categorized as instantaneous, short delay, or long delay detonators based on the delay time between receiving an electric signal and detonation. Instantaneous detonators detonate immediately when electricity is received, while short delay detonators have delay times measured in milliseconds and long delay detonators have delay times measured in seconds. Ordinary detonators are usually ignition-based and initiated using a safety fuse. They are inexpensive and commonly used in mining, quarrying, and construction. Electric detonators do not contain a primary explosive and instead use pentrite compressed inside steel, which detonates quickly upon receiving electricity and ignites the base charge.

    DETONATOR
    A detonator, frequently a blasting cap, is a device used to
    trigger an explosive device. Detonators can be chemically,
    mechanically, or electrically initiated, the latter two being
    the most common.
    A blasting cap is a small sensitive primary explosive device
    generally used to detonate a larger, more powerful and less
    sensitive secondary explosive such as TNT, dynamite,
    or plastic explosive.
    Blasting caps come in a variety of types, including non-
    electric caps, electric caps, and fuse caps. They are used in
    commercial mining, excavation, and demolition. Electric
    types are set off by a short burst of current sent by
    a blasting machine via a long wire to the cap to ensure
    safety. Traditional fuse caps have a fuse which is ignited by a
    flame source, such as a match or a lighter
    Many detonators' primary explosive is a material called ASA
    compound. This compound is formed from lead azide, lead
    styphnate and aluminium and is pressed into place above
    the base charge, usually TNT or tetryl in military
    detonators and PETN in commercial detonators.

    The commercial use of explosives uses electrical detonators


    or the capped fuse which is a length of safety fuse to which
    an ordinary detonator has been joined.
    ORDINARY DETONATORS
    Ordinary detonators usually take the form of ignition-based
    explosives. While they are mainly used in commercial
    operations, ordinary detonators are still used in military
    operations. This form of detonator is most commonly
    initiated using a safety fuse, and used in non time-critical
    detonations e.g. conventional munitions disposal. Well
    known detonators are lead azide [Pb(N3)2], silver
    azide [AgN3] and mercury fulminate [Hg(ONC)2].
    It is initiated by safety fuse which is inserted in the open end
    of the ordinary detonator & held there by crimping it. The
    fire conveyed by safety fuse initiates the explosive charge
    inside the shell.
    Ordinary detonators are inexpensive blasting initiators,
    popularly used in opencast / non-gassy mines stone
    quarries, well sinking, road construction, surface
    excavation, secondary blasting and shock tube blast
    initiation. They are widely used as a safe alternative in
    locations which have potential static hazards for electric
    detonators.

    ELECTRIC DETONATORS
    There are three categories of electrical
    detonators:
    instantaneous electrical
    detonators (IED),
    short period delay detonators (SPD)
    and
    long period delay detonators (LPD).
    SPDs are measured in milliseconds and LPDs are measured in
    seconds. In situations where nanosecond accuracy is
    required, specifically in the implosion charges in nuclear
    weapons, exploding-bridgewire detonators are employed.
    The initial shock wave is created by vaporizing a length of a
    thin wire by an electric discharge.
    An instantaneous electric detonator is a
    type of electric detonator that explodes
    instantaneously when electricity is
    turned on.
    When an adequately high ignition current
    is led to the leading wires, the resistance
    wire heats up inside the fuse head,
    causing its pyrotechnical composition to
    deflagrate and ignite the delay element,
    which, in turn, ignites the explosive,
    initial charge, and base charge at the
    bottom of the detonator after a
    predefined time.
    The base charge of Firex electric detonators manufactured by
    OY FORCIT AB is of hexogen, and the strength rating of
    the detonator is 8 (10 according to the Prior test).
    Therefore, it will reliably ignite detonator-sensitive
    explosives and boosters. A FIREX detonator includes, in
    total, 1 g of explosive.
    The pyrotechnical delay element delays the beginning of the
    explosion for a predefined time once the ignition impulse
    has reached the detonator. The delay times range from 25
    ms (0.025 s) to 5000 ms (5s). To reduce the danger of
    unintended ignition caused by static electricity, the fuse
    head is covered by a protective sleeve.
    FIREX detonators do not include a primary explosive. This
    has been replaced with penthrite compressed inside a steel
    reinforcement. With respect to penthrite encapsulated in
    this way, combustion quickly accelerates to detonation,
    which then ignites the base charge. In comparison to
    detonators that use very sensitive primary explosives, these
    types of detonators that do not include a primary explosive
    are not so sensitive to mechanical impact.
