Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
DEF

A method of blasting in tunnels, drifts, and raises, designed to minimize overbreak and leave clean-cut solid walls.

CONT

Perimeter blasting... consists of drilling the outside row of holes with a predetermined burden/spacing ratio, loading each hole with a very light continuous charge, then firing them simultaneously so that the rock is cleanly sheared from one hole to the next.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
DEF

Tir de précision effectué en bord de fosse, minimisant l'effet arrière.

CONT

Tir périmétrique. Ce procédé fut conçu pour réduire au minimum les hors profils et mieux régler les toits et murs des souterrains. Il s'agit de percer les trous de contour à intervalles rapprochés, les charger légèrement et les tirer simultanément pour arracher le roc à net d'un trou à l'autre.

OBS

[Dans ce procédé de sautage aux explosifs,] l'attention est portée essentiellement sur la maille, la répartition des charges, l'organisation de l'amorçage.

Subject field(s)
  • Office Equipment and Supplies
CONT

A hole punch(known also as a hole puncher, paper puncher or perforator) is a common office tool that is used to create holes in sheets of paper, often for the purpose of collecting the sheets in a binder. There are hole punchers that make one, two, three four, five, six, seven or eight holes at one time, the placement of which matches the spacing of the rings in the binder.

OBS

There are also hole punchers that make holes of various geometric shapes, or silhouettes of objects or animals. These are used to punch decorative holes along the edges of pieces of paper, and for making confetti, when creating scrapbooks and other paper crafts.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et fournitures de bureau
CONT

Utilisez un perforateur à trous multiples pour produire des rondelles identiques en papier épais ou en carton.

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
CONT

Perimeter blasting(...) consists of drilling the outside row of holes with a predetermined burden/spacing ratio, loading each hole with a very light continuous charge, then firing them simultaneously so that the rock is cleanly sheared from one hole to the next.(...) Holes must be accurately aligned with burden equal to or slightly greater than the spacing in order to obtain the necessary shearing action.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Tir périmétrique. (...) Il s'agit de percer les trous de contour à intervalles rapprochés, les charger légèrement et les tirer simultanément pour arracher le roc à net d'un trou à l'autre. (...) L'intervalle entre les trous, le fardeau qu'ils ont à déplacer et leur alignement sont les éléments essentiels à la réussite. Les trous bien parallèles sont disposés selon un plan où le fardeau est égal à leur espacement ou l'excède un peu, afin d'obtenir l'effet tranchant voulu.
