Q
  1. What is the consideration of C shaped ribbon charge?
A

A) DET Cord branchlines must be the same length and connected with British junction or M151 Boosters
B) Same thickness, width, and length rules apply as a ribbon charge on flat steel

Q
  1. What is purpose of C Shaped ribbon charge?
A

To cut structural steel

17
Q
  1. What are the three types of advanced steel charge?
A

Ribbon charge, C Shaped ribbon charge, saddle charge, and diamond charge
• Uses considerably less explosive than conventional charges

18
Q
  1. What is cutting method of Diamond charge?
A

Stress wave method

19
Q
  1. What type of charge would you use if the targets are steel plate, high carbon, and mild steel bar?
A

Mild steel bar: Saddle charge
High carbon: diamond charge
Steel plate: ribbon charge

20
Q
  1. What is the formula for a Saddle charge?
A

CV = B^2

21
Q
  1. What is purpose of diamond charge?
A

To cut high carbon, alloy steel bar circular or square up to 8 inches in diameter

22
Q
  1. What is purpose of saddle charge?
A

Used on Mild steel bars (Round, Square, rectangular) up to 8 inches in diameter
