DEVELOPMENT OF PRECISION PRESSURE DETONATED DEEP SOUND SIGNALS,

Abstract

The design of a precision pressure detonator and its use with various high explosives at detonation depths of 2500 to 14,000 feet is described. Description of the laboratory tests of the units and sea tests is also given. Results of the tests are summarized and analysed. Recommendations for application of the units as tools in experiments at sea are outlined. (Author)
