What are the differences between low explosive and high explosive?
I really do think that one is just faster than the other and more powerful.
Does low silica magma cause explosive volcanic eruptions?
Not usually. Explosive eruptions are more often to magma with high or moderate silica levels.
What kind of eription is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcan?
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
How much does ANFO cost per pound?
Average ANFO cost in the US is $.48 cents per pound if bought in bulk.
What type of material do explosive volcanoes produce?
An explosive eruption is caused by magma with a high content of water and silica. Non-explosive eruptions are caused by either lava because it is a thicker consistency, or magma with a low content of water and silica.
Low yield explosives cause low or less damaging explosions and rarely injure people true or false?
False.... The Oklahoma City bombings utilized a "low yield" explosive (ANFO) which is typically used in mining to move material. A 'high" explosive, like dynamite, is used to blast and fracture material.
Is C-4 a high or low explosive?
High explosive
How many joules for 1 gram anfo?
A gram of ANFO explosive yields about 6300 Joules of energy. The value is usually expressed as 6.3 MJ/kg.
Can ANFO be detonated by too much pressure or by shock?
No, it can't be detonated without an explosive.
How are explosive classified?
high explosives, low explosives, explosive mixture and explosive compounds.
Is it safe and legal to make ANFO?
It is legal in some places to make ANFO if you have the necessary permits and follow safety regulations. However, ANFO is a high explosive that can be dangerous to make and handle due to its sensitivity to ignition and shock. It is recommended to purchase ANFO from licensed suppliers rather than attempting to make it yourself.
What is high explosive?
A high explosive is a chemical or mixture that undergoes detonation and has a high detonation wave speed (in the thousands of feet per second). Some examples of high explosives are nitroglycerine, dynamite, TNT, ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO), torpex, composition B, C-4, fuel-air explosive, RDX, baratol, amatol, nitrogen triiodide, Mercury fulminate, sodium azide, etc. Note: Blackpowder is not a high explosive but the US DOT classifies it as a high explosive solely due to the ease with which it can be accidentally ignited. Other low explosives are not so easily ignited so the US DOT classifies them as what they actually are. Blackpowder and other low explosives undergo deflagration (not detonation) and only burn very rapidly (never forming a detonation wave in the material).
