Normal Lead Styphnate Suitable for Australian Production of Low Sensitivity CC Primers

摘要

Normal lead styphnate types RD1302, RD1303M and RD1367 were assessed for their suitability for production and use in Australian manufactured low sensitivity CC primers. Recommendation was made that type RD1302 should be used. The sensitivity penalty incurred by using small particle size lead styphnate has been demonstrated. Pilot lot production of primers at MFF St Marys using selected production RD1302 has verified suitability for the intended application.
