Excerpt from The Effect of Stemming on the Efficiency of ExplosivesAll commercial explosives owe their power of doing work to the expansive force of the great volume of gas evolved from them at the moment of explosion. The pressure exerted by this gas in the drill hole or other confined space in which the explosion is brought about is what makes explosive substances of value in mining or other industries and is the primary cause of all those m...

Excerpt from The Rate of Burning of Fuse: As Influenced by Temperature and PressureIt will thus be seen that either retardation or acceleration in the rate of burning of fuse can readily become the cause of accident, and accordingly the study of the conditions under which the rate of burning Of fuse is so changed as to cause the fuse to burn more rapidly or more slowly becomes of particular importance.Miners have frequently noticed that fuse, ...

Excerpt from The Analysis of Black Powder and DynamiteAlthough descriptions of the methods of analysis of explosives are to be found in many books on explosives, and in works on engineer ing chemistry or chemical analysis, most of these descriptions are incomplete and lacking in details. The methods of analysis employed in the laboratories of most explosives factories are frequently treated as trade secrets, and very little information is publ...

Excerpt from The Rate of Burning of Fuse: As Influenced by Temperature and Pressure There are, however, conditions that cause variations in the rate of burning of fuse, some causing a marked retardation and others causing a decided acceleration. Hence it has seemed necessary to investigate the conditions that bring about these variations, since any marked change in the rate of burning of fuse can cause an accident.
