peer agreement (net): +1| förstärkarpatron detonator amplifier Explanation: See the link for use of "detonator amplifier" for the Nobel Prime product. Not sure what that "KP" designation indicates – is it a brand name perhaps? The linked file also uses "small-hole primer" but I think the suggested term suits your context better. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2014-10-24 13:16:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looking again at this, perhaps "small-hole primer" might be better after all, given that "-patron" suffix? https://www.oricaminingservices.com/uploads/TDS/Nobel%20Prime_TDS_2012-08-23_en_Finland.pdf |

peer agreement (net): +1Primer/booster Explanation: Ok, if your not so sure, will go with this... Does it count that I witnessed the effects of an emulsion blast first hand? At a Pennsylvania strip mine not Oklahoma City...though the explosive was the same -- fuel oil/fertilizer mix, otherwise known as ANFO, with dynamite booster (with blasting caps) ... Needless to say, I was impressed... for more reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasting_cap, where they say 'A blasting cap may also contain a booster, another less sensitive but more energetic explosive that makes the cap more powerful, and thus more reliable for detonating secondary explosives' and see http://www.tpub.com/gunners/3.htm Otherwise the Orica mining stuff is interesting reading.

booster cartridge Explanation: KP might be a company designation -- perhaps that of a company that produces booster cartridges. However, perhaps others have a different suggestion. |
