Q
  1. Described the requirements for time fuse test burn, and how many times should be conducted?
A

At minimum 3 ft test burn. Do not use the first or last 6” of time fuse from a new or partially used roll (moisture) Book answer is every 24 hrs. However it should be conducted every hour.

Q
  1. What is formula for DET Cord N.E.W?
A

Length in feet x 54 grains per foot x RE Factor = total grains of explosives
Grains / 7000 = NET EXPLOSIVE WEIGHT IN LBS

Q
  1. When placing electrical blasting caps in a metal container (like an ammo can), how much overlap should be on the lid ?
A

Minimum ½ inches overlap

19
Q
  1. How long should you wait to clear a nonelectric misfire and electric misfire?
A

Non-electric: 30 minutes

Electric: Immediately

20
Q
  1. What is the preferred method of disposing of explosive?
21
Q
  1. Can you use BLASTING CAPS underground?
A

No, Do not use blasting caps underground, use DET Cord or M151/M152 boosters

22
Q
  1. When burning explosive what must you do?
A

Calculate Minimum Safety Distance

Ensure stacked pules will not exceed 2000 lbs or more than 3 inches thick

23
Q

Where should you not carry blasting caps?

A

Pockets or in any uncontrolled container

24
Q

What should you do before un-shunting wires on an electric blasting cap?

A

Ground yourself

25
What should you do after a time fuse test burn?
Upon completion of test, mark roll with Your name, DTG, test burn time, then tie half knot in non-working end
26
RE factor for Det Cord
1.66
27
What should you avoid when working with Det cord?
Sharp bends, loops, kinks as well as stepping on the cord (Any of these can change the path of detonation and/or cause a cut in the cord)
28
What type of charge are the MSD's for in this chapter?
Bare Charge in the Open
29
Non-electric Misfire Causes
Moisture in M7 Cap, M700 Time Fuse, Det Cord Failure to seat M700 into M7 or M60/M81 Failure to properly seat the blasting cap into the cap well or explosive Debris in the M7
30
Non-electric clearing procedures for aboveground charges
Wait 30 mins Place a primed 1 lb charge next to misfired charge Move to MSD, detonate
31
Non-electric clearing procedures for failure to initiate det cord branch line, line main, or ring main
Wait 30 mins Attach a new initiating set Move to MSD, detonate
32
Non-electric clearing procedures for buried charges
Wait 30 mins Remove tamping to within 1ft, place a primed 2 lb charge on top Move to MSD, detonate If digging over charge is impractical, dig 1 ft to side at same depth
33
Electric Misfire Causes
Inoperable power source, damaged or weak batteries Inadequate power source for number of caps and length of firing wire has too much resistance Improper connections Grounds in system
34
Electric Misfire Prevention
Make one individual responsible for all electrical wiring | Check: All connections, grounding of wires, number of caps does not exceed capacity of power source
35
Electric Misfire Clearing Procedures
Make another attempt to fire Check connections, blasting machine, power source Disconnect power source, use another if available If second attempt fails, shunt wires Inspect the entire circuit for wire breaks or short circuits Do not attempt to remove or handle cap, place a primed 1lb charge next to misfired charge Move to MSD, detonate PERSON IN CHARGE WILL CLEAR MISFIRE WITH POWERSOURCE
36
Should the responsibility for loading, storing, and transporting explosives be divided?
No
37
Where should you park when transporting explosives?
Revetted Areas
38
How fast should you drive when transporting explosives?
35 mph
39
Should you refuel when transporting explosives?
No, except in emergencies
40
If blasting caps or other initiators must be transported in the same vehicle with other explosives, where should they be carried?
In the cab or the truck in an approved ammunition container
41
Types of permanent earth covered magazines for storage of explosives
Igloo Steel-Arced Hillside Subsurface
42
Destruction Procedures for Detonation
Place charges on top of pile, every 4-5 feet
43
Rule for cutting shock tube
Never use crimpers
