GRADED A
Terms in this set (55)
a substance that goes through a chemical reaction
that produces sudden expansion/reaction of the
Explosive
material, usually accompanied by the production of
heat and large violent change in pressure
changes from solid state to a gaseous state over a
Low Velocity Explosive sustained period up to 400 m/s
- ideal for pushing effect
changes from gaseous state almost instantaneously at
High Velocity Explosive 1000 m/s
- ideal for cutting and/or shattering effect
the shattering effect of the explosive in relation to
Relative Effectiveness TNT
Factor - less than 1.0 = good for pushing effect
- more than 1.0 = good for cutting/shattering effect
Explosives selected purpose
should fit the particular mission
