Abstract

Explosive articles include a wide variety of devices or tools that employ explosives which on initiation produce a sudden, powerful expansion of gases used to some mechanical advantage: drive turbines, move pistons, shear bolts and wires, operate pumps, and start engines. Often, these articles contain an explosive cartridge, an explosive charge encased in a cartridge case made of metal, fibre, paper, plastic, or other material.
