  • Blasting Work (Mining)
  • Explosives and Pyrotechnical Materials (Industries)
  • Blasting (Construction)
DEF

The process of causing a high explosive to detonate.

CONT

The initiation of an explosive charge requires an initiating point, which is usually a primer and electric detonator, or a primer and a detonating cord or fuse.

CONT

Class I [of dangerous goods] comprises :...(b) Explosive articles, except devices containing explosive substances in such quantity or of such a character that their inadvertent or accidental ignition or initiation during transport shall not cause any manifestation external to the device either by projection, fire, smoke, heat or loud noise.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
  • Explosifs et artifices (Industries)
  • Dynamitage (Construction)
DEF

Mise en place d'un détonateur au contact d'une charge explosive et mise à feu.

CONT

L'amorçage se fait au moyen d'un détonateur et d'une mèche, d'une amorce électrique ou d'un cordeau détonant, la cartouche amorcée étant placée obligatoirement en arrière (amorçage direct) ou en avant (amorçage postérieur) de la charge. Quant au bourrage, réalisé au sable fin, à l'argile humide ou même à l'eau, il augmente toujours, quand il est bien fait, le rendement de n'importe quel explosif.

CONT

Amorçage. Une seule cartouche-amorce [...] en contact direct avec le détonateur, est requise pour l'explosion de la charge d'explosifs à grande vitesse.

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution par le bruit
CONT

La classe I comprend [...] Les objets explosifs, à l'exception des engins contenant des matières explosives en quantité ou d'une nature telles que leur inflammation ou leur amorçage par erreur ou par accident en cours de transport n'entraîne aucun effet extérieur à l'engin de projection, de feu, de fumée ou de chaleur ou de bruit intense.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Contaminación acústica
CONT

Si no se ha estado resguardado contra el ruido intenso, la exposición intempestiva es desagradable y puede llegar a ser aterradora.

Record 3 2000-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

Electrical noise, caused by ignition current feeding through the flame to the flame rod, which is superimposed on the flame signal(flame rod detectors only). The interference may be additive or subtractive.(It may increase or decrease the flame signal.) Subtractive interference may cause the flame relay to drop out; severe additive interference may damage the flame relay unless an arc gap protector is in the circuit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs

Record 4 2000-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

Lifting flames: flames which lift from or blow off the pilot or main burner ports. Caused by an overrating of the burner, too hard a primary air adjustment, or both.

CONT

lifting flame. When too much primary air is admitted to the burner, the flame will actually lift off the burner ports. This flame is undesirable for many reasons. When the flame is raised from the ports, there is a possibility that intermediate products of combustion will escape to the atmosphere. The flame will be small and will be accompanied by a blowing noise, much like that made by a blow torch. There will be rough ignition and, if enough secondary air is available, ignition may be impossible.
