THE FIRING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STANDARD ATLAS ELECTRIC MATCH

Abstract

The firing sensitivity of both M-100 and M-200 Atlas electric matches is determined for instances when the firing signal duration is in the range 1 to 6 milliseconds. Tests were conducted by supplying either a constant voltage or constant current pulse to the match. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between these matches or between lots of matches. The energy and voltage required to reliably fire these matches within six milliseconds are described as a function of pulse duration.
