Penetration in Granite by Shaped Charge Liners of Various Metals

Abstract

The report describes efforts to determine the penetrability of shaped charge jets into granite utilizing metallic liners and composition C-4 as the high explosive. While shaped charges have found extensive use in military applications, industrial uses are limited to oil well casing perforations, furnace tapping, and linear metal cutting charges.
