ENCYCLOPEDIA of CHEMISTRY & EXPLOSIVES MATERIALS Abelite
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHEMISTRY & EXPLOSIVES MATERIALS A Abelite An explosive, composed mainly of ammonium nitrate and trinitrotoluene. Absolute Zero The least possible temperature for all substances. Generally accepted as -273.15ÝC AC Alternating current. Acceptance Quality Level (AQL) A nominal value expressed in terms of percentage defective per hundred units, by which a group of sampling plans is identified. The sampling plans so identified have a high probability of accepting lots containing material with a process average not greater than the designed value of the AQL. Acetin [CH3COOC3H5(OH)2] also known as glyceryl monoacetate, a colourless hydroscopic liquid. Used as an intermediate for various explosives, and a solvent for various dyes. Acetone [CH3COCH3] colourless, flammable liquid. Acetone is widely used in industry as a solvent for many organic substances. It is used in making synthetic Resins and fillers, smokeless powders, and many other organic compounds. Boiling Point 56ÝC. Useful solvent for acetylene, also known as the simplest saturated ketone. Acetylene or ethyne, a colourless gas and the simplest alkyne Hydrocarbon. Explosive on contact with air, it is stored dissolved under pressure in Acetone. It is used to make neoprene rubber, plastics, and resins. The oxyacetylene torch mixes and burns oxygen and acetylene to produce a very hot flame-as high as 3480ÝC (6300ÝF)-that can cut steel and weld iron and other metals. Produced by the action of wateron calcium carbide and catalytically from naphtha. Acetylide A carbide formed by bubbling acetylene through a metallic salt solution, eg cuprous acetylide, Cu2C2. These are violently explosive compounds. Acid Any substance capable of giving up a proton; a substance that ionizes in solution to give the positive ion of the solvent; a solution with a pH measurement less than 7. -

Issues in Firing System Safety 110927
Issues in Firing System Safety 27 September 2011 The purpose of this memorandum is to identify faults in contemporary firing system construction which can lead to system failure, in particular failures which can result in damage to personnel or property. Failure of the system to fire, while impacting the quality of the show, has a low probability to result in damages. This memorandum, therefore, will deal primarily with issues that result in unintended firing of a pyrotechnic effect, and will deal with failure to fire as a secondary issue. In our Fault Tree Analysis (see Appendix A), the primary fault is therefore identified as unintentional release of more than 100mA of current through any combination of input/output terminals connected to electric matches. While most electric matches used in pyrotechnics have an All-Fire Current rating of 500mA (i.e. the match is specified to fire at or above 500mA) and a specified No-Fire Current rating of 200mA (i.e. the match is specified not to file at or below 200mA) many companies do not have an exemplary record of quality control, especially new matching coming out of Asia. For this reason, we have narrowed our analytical requirement to 100mA. 1 Issues in Firing System Safety | Firelinx Limited Table of Contents Issues in Firing System Safety ....................................................................................................................... 1 Design Considerations Impacting Primary Failure Conditions ...................................................................... 3 -
