Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An explosive cord is disclosed. In various embodiments, the explosive cord includes a tube having a tube inner surface and a tube outer surface, the tube inner surface defining a hollow interior that extends along a length of the tube; a carrier fiber disposed within the hollow interior of the tube, the carrier fiber having a carrier fiber exposed surface area; and a reactive material disposed on the carrier fiber exposed surface area.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. An explosive cord, comprising: a tube having a tube inner surface and a tube outer surface, the tube inner surface defining a hollow interior that extends along a length of the tube; a carrier fiber disposed within the hollow interior of the tube, the carrier fiber having a carrier fiber exposed surface area; a reactive material disposed on the carrier fiber exposed surface area; and a hollow space extending along the length of the tube between the tube inner surface and the reactive material such that the reactive material is exposed to the hollow space. 2. The explosive cord of claim 1 , wherein the reactive material comprises an organic explosive component. 3. The explosive cord of claim 2 , wherein the reactive material comprises between seventy percent and one-hundred percent by weight of the organic explosive component. 4. The explosive cord of claim 3 , wherein the reactive material includes a metallic component. 5. The explosive cord of claim 4 , wherein the reactive material comprises up to thirty percent by weight of the metallic component. 6. The explosive cord of claim 5 , further comprising an outer shell disposed about the tube outer surface. 7. The explosive cord of claim 1 , wherein the carrier fiber comprises a polymeric material. 8. The explosive cord of claim 7 , wherein the polymeric material comprises a poly ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene component. 9. The explosive cord of claim 8 , wherein the reactive material is adhered to the carrier fiber exposed surface area by a binder. 10. The explosive cord of claim 9 , wherein the reactive material includes particles of an organic explosive disposed on the carrier fiber exposed surface area. 11. The explosive cord of claim 10 , wherein the particles of the organic explosive have a size between about twelve microns and about thirty microns. 12. The explosive cord of claim 1 , wherein the carrier fiber comprises a porous material. 13. The explosive cord of claim 12 , wherein the reactive material is disposed within the carrier fiber using a solvent laden with the reactive material. 14. The explosive cord of claim 13 wherein the carrier fiber is a string or a yarn.
