Sample Questions

Question 1
What is the typical density, detonation velocity (VOD), and key operational characteristic of gelatinous dynamites (e.g. Eurodyn / Donarit / Gelamon) used in Austrian commercial blasting?
High density (approx. 1.40 to 1.50 g/cm³), high detonation velocity (approx. 5,500 to 6,500 m/s), exceptional brisance, and outstanding water resistance.
Low density (approx. 0.85 g/cm³), moderate detonation velocity (approx. 3,000 m/s), and no water resistance, requiring booster initiation.
Very high density (approx. 2.0 g/cm³) with a deflagration velocity below 500 m/s and complete immunity to aging.
A pourable slurry of pure nitroglycerin without oxidizer salts, detonating at over 8,000 m/s.
Question 2
What is the stoichiometric formulation and key physical limitation of standard bulk ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate / Fuel Oil, known in Austria as Andex)?
75% Potassium Nitrate and 25% Nitrocellulose; waterproof and cap-sensitive.
94.3% porous Ammonium Nitrate prills and 5.7% Fuel Oil (diesel); non-cap-sensitive, low density (~0.85 g/cm³), low VOD (~3,000 m/s), and zero water resistance.
50% TNT and 50% RDX; hypersensitive to minor electrostatic friction.
100% pure Ammonium Nitrate prills without any fuel component; fully cap-sensitive with maximum energy output.
Question 3
How do modern commercial emulsion explosives (Emulsionssprengstoffe) achieve stable detonation sensitivity and high velocity?
By dissolving ammonium nitrate crystals in liquid nitroglycerin to form a pourable gel.
By adding liquid nitroglycerin until the mixture becomes highly sensitive to impact.
Through a water-in-oil emulsion structure containing microscopic droplets of aqueous nitrate oxidizer solution suspended in a continuous fuel/oil matrix, sensitized by microscopic hollow glass or plastic microspheres (Mikrohohlkugeln) that create adiabatic hot spots upon shock compression.
By grinding oxidizer and fuel to sub-micron powder and pressing out all air voids to maximize density.
Question 4
What is the direct toxicological consequence of a strongly negative versus a strongly positive Oxygen Balance (Sauerstoffbilanz) in commercial blasting explosives?
A negative balance produces excess nitrogen oxides; a positive balance produces carbon monoxide.
A negative balance raises detonation velocity beyond 8,000 m/s; a positive balance reduces it below 1,000 m/s.
Oxygen balance affects only brisance and has no influence on fume composition.
A negative oxygen balance (fuel-rich) generates lethal Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas, whereas a positive oxygen balance (oxidizer-rich) generates highly toxic Nitrogen Oxides (NOx / nitrous fumes).
Question 5
Why is black powder (Schwarzpulver / Sprengpulver) specifically selected in dimensional stone quarrying (Natursteingewinnung for granite and marble blocks) rather than high-velocity dynamites?
Black powder deflagrates at subsonic velocities (~300 to 500 m/s), producing expanding gas volume that gently heaves and splits intact stone blocks along natural bedding planes without creating shattering micro-fissures.
Black powder has a higher detonation velocity than pure TNT.
Black powder detonates at about 7,000 m/s, pulverizing the stone into fine aggregate.
Black powder is simply the cheapest explosive per kilogram, which is the sole reason for its selection.
