Splice plate with mechanical joint is separated by expanding gases of a mild detonating fuse. The gas pressures of the low-yield explosive eliminate component fragmentation and achieve excellent control of the separation line.
Large metal parts are sized by a charge exploded above a sealed container filled with evacuated die and water. Explosive hydrosizing achieves close dimensional tolerances, eliminates damage to the surface, and allows longer force application and more even pressure distribution.
Epoxy blanket protects chemically milled or machined sections of large, complex structural parts during explosive forming. The blanket uniformly covers all exposed surfaces and fills any voids to support and protect the entire part.
Circular explosion-proof fluorescent lamp is fitted around a TV camera lens to provide shadowless illumination with a low radiant heat flux. The lamp is mounted in a transparent acrylic housing sealed with clear silicone rubber.
Elevator-type emergency escape system evacuates personnel from tall structures, especially when the possibility of explosion or fire exists. The system consists of a spike shaped rescue cabin which descends along a vertical guide cable, penetrates the dome shaped roof of an underground blast shelter and stops in a deceleration bed of granular material.
