ing material and the base material – as, for instance, in plating titanium<br />

process is that it enables repair work to be carried out on railway<br />

parts over long distances. In densely populated areas, forming explosions<br />

Explosive Bolt<br />

Sprengriegel; verrou destructif<br />

Explosive Loading Factor<br />

Spezifischer Sprengstoffverbrauch; consommation specitique d’explosits<br />

The amount of explosive used per unit of rock, usually expressed as<br />

least annually by the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and<br />

Firearms of the Department of the Treasury.<br />

The United States Department of Transportation classifications of<br />

explosive materials used in commercial blasting operations are not<br />

identical with the statutory definitions of the Organized Crime Control<br />

Act of 1970, Title 18 U.S.C., Section 841. To achieve uniformity in<br />

transportation, the definitions of the United States Department of<br />
