FUSE CORD:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) This item consists of a continuous train of explosive or fastburning
|
||
|
|
material enclosed in a flexible waterproof cord or cable. It is used for
|
||
|
|
setting off an explosive or combustible mixture of powders by action of
|
||
|
|
the fuse flame on the material being ignited. Fuse cord can be initiated
|
||
|
|
by a match flame, using a specific procedure, or with a punk (like you get
|
||
|
|
with sparklers). Fuse cord burns at a uniform rate allowing the user to
|
||
|
|
be away from the functions.
|
||
|
|
(2) Fuse cord does not directly ignite any incendiaries listed in File 4 but
|
||
|
|
is a primary initiator for all igniters listed in File 3 except:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Potassium Permanganate-Glycerin Powdered Aluminum-Sulfur Pellets
|
||
|

Blasting Time Fuse: This consists of powder tightly wrapped with several layers
|
||
|
|
of fabric and waterproofing materials. It might be any
|
||
|
|
color, orange being the most common. The diameter of this
|
||
|
|
cord is 0.2 inches (a little larger than 3/16 of an inch).
|
||
|
|
The fuse burns inside the wrapping at a rate of about 40
|
||
|
|
seconds per foot. It must be tested before use to verify
|
||
|
|
the exact burning rate.

Safety Fuse M700: This fuse is similar to the above fuse and may be used
|
||
|
|
interchangeably with it. The fuse is dark green cord 0.2
|
||
|
|
inches in diameter with a plastic cover, either smooth or
|
||
|
|
with single painted abrasive bands around the outside at
|
||
|
|
1 foot or 18 inch intervals and double painted abrasive
|
||
|
|
bands at 5 foot or 90 inch intervals depending on the time
|
||
|
|
of manufacture. These bands are provided to make measuring
|
||
|
|
easy. They are abrasive so that they can be felt in the
|
||
|
|
dark. The fuse burns inside the wrapping at a rate of
|
||
|
|
about 40 seconds per foot. It must be tested as above to
|
||
|
|
verify the exact burning time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: A commercial item can be substituted for either of the above US Army
|
||
|
|
issue items. The commercial fuse is 0.1 inch (about 3/32 inch) in
|
||
|
|
diameter and is coated only with waterproofing lacquer. This fuse can
|
||
|
|
be easily ignited by holding the free end in a match flame because the
|
||
|
|
outside covering if flamable.

|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) GENERAL
|
||
|
|
(A) Cut and discard a 6-inch langth from the free end of the fuse roll. Do
|
||
|
|
this to be sure that there is no chance of misfire from a damp powder
|
||
|
|
train because of absorption of moisture from the open air. Then cut off
|
||
|
|
a measured length of fuze to check the burning rate before actual use.
|
||
|
|
(B) Cut the fuse long enought to allow a resonable time delay in initiation
|
||
|
|
of the incendiary system. The cut should be made squarely across the
|
||
|
|
fuse.
|
||
|
|
(C) Prepare the fuse for ignition by splitting the fuse at one end to a depth
|
||
|
|
of about one inch. Place the head of an unlighted match in the powder
|
||
|
|
train.
|
||
|
|
(D) Insert the other end of the fuse into a quantity of an igniter mixture
|
||
|
|
so that the fuse end terminates near the center of the mixture. Be sure
|
||
|
|
the fuse cord is anchored in the igniter mixture and cannot pull away.
|
||
|
|
In case of a solid igniter material such as Fire Fudge, the fuse is split
|
||
|
|
to about one-half inch at the end opposite the end containing the match
|
||
|
|
in the powder train. This split fuse end is is wedged over a sharp of
|
||
|
|
the solid igniter material. Be sure the black powder in the fuse firmly
|
||
|
|
contacts the solid igniter. If necessary, the fuse cord can be held
|
||
|
|
firmly to the solid igniter with light tape.
|
||
|
|
(E) The fuse is initiated by lighting the match head inserted in the split
|
||
|
|
end of the fuse with a burning match.

proofed. The devices are manually operated. A pull on the striker
|
||
|
|
retaining pin causes the striker to hit the fuse.
|
||
|
|
NOTE: These devices are not recommended where silence is required
|
||
|
|
because a report is heard when the primer is fired.

|
|
-Preparation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Wash string or shoelaces in hot soapy water; rinse in fresh water.
|
||
|
|
(2) Dissolve one part potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate and one part
|
||
|
|
granulated sugar in two parts hot water.
|
||
|
|
(3) Soak string or shoelaces in the hot solution for at least five minutes.
|
||
|
|
(4) Remove the string from the hot solution and twist or braid three strands
|
||
|
|
of string together.
|
||
|
|
(5) Hang fuse up to dry.
|
||
|
|
(6) Check actual burning rate of the fuse by measuring the time it takes for
|
||
|
|
a known length to burn.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) This fuse does not have a waterproof coating and it must be tested by
|
||
|
|
burning a measure of length before actual use.
|
||
|
|
(2) Cut the fuse long enough to allow a reasonable time delay in initiation of
|
||
|
|
the incendiary system.
|
||
|
|
(3) Insert one end of the fuse in a quantity of an igniter mixture so that the
|
||
|
|
fuse end terminates near the center of the mixture. Be sure the fuse cord
|
||
|
|
is anchored in the igniter mixture and cannot pull away. In case of a
|
||
|
|
solid igniter material such as Fire Fudge, the improvised string fuse is
|
||
|
|
securely wrapped around a piece of solid igniter material.
|
||
|
|
(4) The fuse is initiated by lighting the free end of the fuse with a match.
|
||
|
|
(5) This fuse does not burn when it is wet. Its use is not recommended where
|
||
|
|
there is the possibility of the fuse getting wet.

CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID (OIL OF VITRIOL):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) This material is a heavy, corrosive, oily, and colorless liquid. Storage
|
||
|
|
is recommended in a glass container with a glass lid or stopper. Com-
|
||
|
|
mercially available sulfuric acid is approximately 93% concentrate with a
|
||
|
|
specific gravity of 1.835. This is commonly refered to as Concentrated
|
||
|
|
sulfuric acid.
|
||
|
|
(2) Concentrated sulfuric acid chars wood, cotton, and vegetable fibers,
|
||
|
|
usually without causing fire. The addition of water to concentrated
|
||
|
|
sulfuric acid develops much heat which may be sufficient to cause a fire
|
||
|
|
or an explosion. This depends on the quantity of acid, quantity of water,
|
||
|
|
and rate of addition of water
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAUTION: Always add concentrated sulfuric acid to water. NEVER add water to
|
||
|
|
concentrated acid!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) Certain igniter materials can be reliably brought to flaming by the
|
||
|
|
addition of concentrated sulfuric acid. This is brought about by the
|
||
|
|
chemical reaction between the sulfuric acid and the igniter materials. The
|
||
|
|
following igniters are initiated by concentrated sulfuric acid:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sugar-Chlorate Fire Fudge Sugar-Sodium Peroxide
|
||
|
|
Aluminum Powder Match Head Silver Nitrate-Magnesium Powder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(4) The most important use for concentrated sulfuric acid as an initiator is
|
||
|
|
in conjunction with delay machanisms. The acid is held away from the
|
||
|
|
igniter for a period of time by making use of the corrosive action of the
|
||
|
|
acid to work it's way through a barrier. If the delay mechanism is placed
|
||
|
|
in a cold environment, the concentrated sulfuric acid will remain fluid at
|
||
|
|
extremely low temperatures. The following delay mechanisms are recom-
|
||
|
|
mended for use with concentrated sulfuric acid:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gelatin Capsule Rubber Diaphram Paper Diaphram
|
||
|
|
Tipping delay Streched Rubber Band
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Material and Equiptment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Concentrated Sulfuric Acid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Preparation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NONE-If only battery grade sulfuric acid is available (specific gravity 1.200),
|
||
|
|
it must be concentrated before use to a specific gravity of 1.835. This
|
||
|
|
is done by heating it in an enameled, heat resistant glass or porcelain
|
||
|
|
pot until dense, white fumes appear. Heat only in a well ventilated area.
|
||
|
|
When dense, white fumes start to appear, remove the heat and allow acid
|
||
|
|
to cool. Store the concentrated acid in a glass container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) GENERAL
|
||
|
|
(A) Commercial sulfuric acid is available in 13 gallon carboys. Smaller
|
||
|
|
quantities of this acid are available in chemical lab reagent storage
|
||
|
|
containers. It is recommended that a small quantity of acid, about one
|
||
|
|
pint, be secured and stored on a glass container until it is used.
|
||
|
|
(2) USE WITH DELAY MECHANISMS
|
||
|
|
(A) Construction of a specific delay mechanism is described in File 5.
|
||
|
|
within the delay mechanism, there is a container filled with acid. The
|
||
|
|
acid corrodes this container, is absorbed by the container until it comes
|
||
|
|
in contact with the igniter mixture
|
||
|
|
(B) Carefully fill the container in the delay mechanism with concentrated
|
||
|
|
sulfuric acid. This can easily be accompliched with a small glass
|
||
|
|
funnel. A medicine dropper is used when the delay mechanism container
|
||
|
|
is small.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAUTION: Concentrated sulfuric acid must be handled carefully because it is
|
||
|
|
very corrosive. If it is splashed on clothing, skin or eyes, the
|
||
|
|
affected area must be immediately flushed with water. This may not
|
||
|
|
always be practical. It is recommended that eye protection be worn
|
||
|
|
by the user when pouring concentrated sulfuric acid. Many types are
|
||
|
|
available for this purpose. Rubber gloves can be worn to protect the
|
||
|
|
hands. A small bottle of water can be carried to flush small areas
|
||
|
|
of skin or clothing which may be contaminated with the acid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) MANUAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
|
(A) Manual application of concentrated sulfuric acid for direct initiation
|
||
|
|
of an igniter is not recommended when fuse cord is available. It is
|
||
|
|
possible to employ this acid for direct initiation by quickly adding
|
||
|
|
three or four drops of igniter material. This can be done with a
|
||
|
|
medicine dropper. Keep hands and clothing clear of the igniter;
|
||
|
|
ignition may take place almost instantly with addition of acid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAUTION: Do not allow materials such as wood, sugar, cotton, or woolen fibers
|
||
|
|
to fall into the boiling acid. A violent rection could occur with
|
||
|
|
splattering of acid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(B) Since sulfuric acid has a unique freezing point relation to acid
|
||
|
|
concentration, the information shown below is useful when this acid is
|
||
|
|
used with delay mechanisms in low temperature surroundings. Be sure of
|
||
|
|
acid concentration by checking with a hydrometer.

WATER:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Water causes spontaneous combustion of certain igniter mixtures. This is
|
||
|
|
caused by a chemical reaction of the igniter materials in the presence of
|
||
|
|
water. The following igniters are initiated by water:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sugar-Sodium Peroxide Aluminum Powder-Sodium Peroxide
|
||
|
|
Silver Nitrate-Magnesium Powder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) The most important use for water as an initiator is in conjunction with
|
||
|
|
delay mechanisms. Since only a few igniter mixtures are initiated by water
|
||
|
|
and it cannot be used at a freezing temperatures, its uses are limited.
|
||

When tactics so dictate, water can be reliably used with the following
|
||
|
|
delay mechanisms:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gelatin Capsule Overflow
|
||
|
|
Tipping Delay Blancing Stick
|
||
|
|
Streched Rubber Band
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Material and Equiptment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Water.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Preparation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) Use with delay mechanisms. Construction of specific delay mechanisms is
|
||
|
|
presented in File 5. Within the delay mechanism, there is a container
|
||
|
|
filled with water. The water dissolves the container or is spilled from
|
||
|
|
the container and comes in container or is spilled from the container
|
||
|
|
and comes in contact with igniter mixture, initiating the fire train.
|
||
|
|
(2) Manual Application. Fuse cord, when available, is recommended in prefer-
|
||
|
|
ences to water as an initiator. Water is used for direct ignition or a
|
||
|
|
specific igniter by adding drops as with a medicine dropper. Keep hands
|
||
|
|
and clothing clear of the igniter; ignition may take place almost instant-
|
||
|
|
aneously with addition of water.
