In this place, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated:
Pyrophoric | Pyrophoric (Greek, meaning fire-bearing) materials are finely divided chemical substances, mostly metals, which at room temperature vehemently react with the oxygen contained in air. The energy released in this oxidation process is sufficient to make substances glow or blaze. Therefore a pyrophoric material can spontaneously ignite in air. |
This place covers:
Compositions of delay mixtures
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Ignition systems for methods or apparatus for obtaining oil, gas, water, soluble or meltable materials or a slurry of minerals from wells | |
Blasting methods or apparatus, e.g. loading or tamping Arrangements for ignition |
This place covers:
Boosters
This place covers:
Incendiary compositions.
