A method ... for breaking down coal by compressed air. Air at a pressure of 10,000 to 12,000 pounds per square inch is conveyed in a steel pipe to a tube or shell inserted in a shothole. The air is admitted by opening a shooting valve and is released in the hole by the rupture of a shear pin or disc. The sudden expansion of the air in the confined hole breaks down the coal. 3, record 1, English, - compressed%2Dair%20blasting

[Procédé qui] consiste à comprimer de l'air à environ 800 atmosphères, à le conduire par des tuyauteries de très petit diamètre jusqu'au chantier. Pour le tir, l'air comprimé est introduit dans un obus placé dans le trou de mine à faire sauter. Lorsque la pression dans l'obus atteint 600 à 700 kg/cm², la rupture d'une goupille ou d'un disque métallique permet l'échappement de l'air dans le trou, avec une pression telle que le charbon se trouve brisé. 2, record 1, French, - tir%20%C3%A0%20l%27air%20comprim%C3%A9
