Several of the plastic explosives based on RDX, such as Composition C4 are relatively insensitive. And there are specialized explosives developed for use in deep oil well bores that stand up well to very high temperatures and pressures. However, at normal temperatures and pressures, the LEAST sensitive group of products are probably blasting agents, such as a mix of ammonium nitrate and #2 diesel fuel. Unless compacted, these will not reliably detonate from a blasting cap, and require a high explosive "booster" to donate enough energy to cause detonation.
What else can I help you with?
What type of acids are used in explosives?
Nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid are commonly used in the production of explosives. Nitric acid is often used as an oxidizer, while sulfuric acid can serve as a catalyst in certain explosive reactions. Hydrochloric acid may be used in the preparation of certain explosive substances.
What is the standard color coding on explosives?
I know of no widespread standard color coding for explosives. I work with some products that are in white packaging, some yellow, some orange. It is pretty much a manufacturer's choice. The actual explosive material can be any color, from pink to grey to black. US military ordnance has standard colors, such as OD Green with a yellow stripe for High Explosive, but that is not used world wide.
What Used cycle as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
You question is far from clear, but nuclear weapons use a high explosive "trigger". The chemical explosives serve to crush nuclear materials into a very dense form, starting a nuclear chain reaction. There have been many different explosives used for that purpose- explosives used in modern day weapons is rather classified, and we don't discuss classified materials here.The chemical explosives used in most nuclear weapons since the 1960s have been PBXs (Plastic Bonded Explosives). However there are literally many dozens of different PBXs, each having different properties. PBXs were selected for safety: they are insensitive to shock or fire.I am not sure what you mean by "cycle". The only thing I know of with a name like that was cyclonite, an explosive used in some nuclear weapons in the 1950s, but it is very shock sensitive and thus unsafe.Some unclassified information on nuclear weapon explosives is available in Chuck Hansen's work Swords of Armageddon.
What type of explosive agent is the most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives?
The most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives is ammonium nitrate. It is commonly used due to its high nitrogen content, which provides the explosive potency needed for various industrial applications.
Are potatoes explosives?
No, potatoes are not explosives. They are a type of starchy vegetable that is commonly eaten as a food source.
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives?
c4

c4
What type of explosive is widely by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosive.?
TNT
What type of explosive is widely used by military and is one of the least sensitive explosive?
TNT
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives.?
While we use several, you are probably thinking of Composition C4. It is composed of RDX explosive in a mix of a plastic binder. In Great Britain it is called PE-4. It is a low sensitivity explosive with high energy.
What type of explosive is the least sensitive?
Several of the plastic explosives based on RDX, such as Composition C4 are relatively insensitive. And there are specialized explosives developed for use in deep oil well bores that stand up well to very high temperatures and pressures. However, at normal temperatures and pressures, the LEAST sensitive group of products are probably blasting agents, such as a mix of ammonium nitrate and #2 diesel fuel. Unless compacted, these will not reliably detonate from a blasting cap, and require a high explosive "booster" to donate enough energy to cause detonation.
What type of clothing should you wear when working with explosives?
Explosive proof clothing
How far can 75 pounds of explosives propel fragments?
The distance fragments can be propelled by 75 pounds of explosives depends on various factors such as the type of explosive, its placement, and the surrounding environment. Generally, explosives can propel fragments several hundred feet away.
What is the symbol for explosive?
There are a number of them depending on what type of explosives you are dealing with. To determine which symbol is appropriate, see the DOT Hazardous Markings, Labeling and Placarding guide.
What type of acids are used in explosives?
Nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid are commonly used in the production of explosives. Nitric acid is often used as an oxidizer, while sulfuric acid can serve as a catalyst in certain explosive reactions. Hydrochloric acid may be used in the preparation of certain explosive substances.
What distance can 75 pounds of explosives propel fragments?
The distance that 75 pounds of explosives can propel fragments varies depending on factors like the type of explosive, the containment of the explosion, and the terrain. However, explosives of this magnitude have the potential to propel fragments hundreds of feet away from the blast site.
What is the standard color coding on explosives?
I know of no widespread standard color coding for explosives. I work with some products that are in white packaging, some yellow, some orange. It is pretty much a manufacturer's choice. The actual explosive material can be any color, from pink to grey to black.
