FAQ's

The quality of explosives directly affects blasting efficiency and safety. High-quality explosives provide consistent energy release, ensuring predictable and effective fragmentation. VOD meters can help monitor and verify the detonation speed, giving insight into explosive quality in real-time to optimize blast performance and safety.

The VOD of an explosive measures the speed at which the detonation wave travels through it, directly indicating the explosive’s energy release rate. By using VOD meters, operators can assess whether the explosive is performing as expected, ensuring efficient fragmentation and minimizing potential hazards on site.

Field tests using VOD meters are an effective way to check explosive quality. VOD meters measure the detonation speed of explosives, providing real-time data to evaluate performance and detect any inconsistencies, enabling adjustments that optimize safety and efficiency.

Field testing for explosives quality typically involves VOD meters and other measurement tools. VOD meters provide direct insight into detonation speed, helping to identify any degradation in explosive quality before use. Reliable field testing ensures that only high-performance explosives are used in each blast.

Accurate delay detonators control the timing between blast segments, crucial for minimizing vibrations and optimizing fragmentation. Delay timers provide precision, ensuring that each detonator fires as planned, reducing the risk of misfires and enhancing blast efficiency in challenging environments.

The nominal delay is the designed delay time between detonator firings, typically measured in milliseconds. By using precise delay timers, operators can control the timing of each blast, achieving optimal fragmentation and reducing ground vibration, critical in construction and mining.

Scatter refers to the variation in actual detonation times around the nominal delay. Excessive scatter can cause uneven fragmentation and increased vibration, potentially damaging nearby structures. Quality delay timers minimize scatter, enhancing the control and predictability of each blast.

Using high-quality delay timers and accurate detonators is key to minimizing scatter. Reliable delay timers ensure consistent delay times, reducing the variation between actual and nominal detonation times. This control leads to better fragmentation and lower risk of unintended vibrations.
