Net explosives weight is used to calculate Quantity Distance by means of a formula D = K*W1/3, where "D" is the distance in feet, "K" is a factor (also called K-factor) that is dependent upon the risk assumed or permitted, and "W" is the NEW in pounds. When metric units are used, the symbol "Q" denotes NEQ in kilograms. In the formula D(m) = Km*Q1/3, the distance "D" is expressed in meters. Thus, the units of "K" are feet/pounds 1/3 and "Km" are meters/kilogram 1/3 in the two systems. The value of "K" in English units is approximately 2.52 times "Km." For example, if D(m) = 4.36*Q1/3, then D(ft) = 11*W1/3. Distance requirements determined by the formula with English units are sometimes expressed by the value of "K," using the terminology K9, K11, K18, to mean K = 9, K = 11, and K = 18

No. Sulpuhric acid may be used in a chemical reaction with other things to MAKE explosives, but explosives do not contain sulphuric acid.
What explosive to use in underground silver mining?

yes
How do you calculate powder factor?
Powder Factor is the relationship of Explosives to Volume. It describes how much explosives are needed to blast a particular volume of rock. The easy formula is PF = (lbs of explosives used) / (yd^3 of rock blasted) It is just an indicator, so you can use whatever units of measure are common in your application.
What types of explosives are commonly found in primers?
