Carbamite
Denomination frequently used in English for W Centralit I.
Cardox
A physical explosion process which, like the Armstrong process and
Airdox process, operates on the principle of a sudden release of
compressed gas by means of a bursting disc. In the Cardox process,
condensed CO2 is brought to a high vapor pressure by means of a
heating cartridge.
Cartridge
Patrone; cartouche
This term denotes any quantity of an explosive material or functional
formulations thereof, which has been sheathed in order to improve
handling, loading or dosing; for ammunition, “cartridge” most often
means an assembly of an W Igniter, a W Propellant charge and a
projectile, which may itself contain a high explosive charge with ignition
mechanism. As applied to industrial explosives, the term “cartridge”
denotes the amount of the explosive – which may vary between
50 g and several kg – enclosed in an envelope which is usually
cylindical-shaped, and is made of paper, cardboard or plastic.
Cartridge Density
Patronendichte; densité de cartouche
(W Loading Density) In industrial explosives, the ratio between the
weight of an explosive cartridge and its volume.
Some manufacturers indirectly give the cartridge density on the package
by stating the number of standard 11//4V8c cartridges contained
in a 50-pound case. The relationship is given in the following table:
