Claims
- 1. A detonating cord of low brisance comprising:
- a. An outer core of explosive material of predetermined detonating velocity, and
- b. An inner core of explosive material concentrically carried in said outer core and in contiguous relationship therewith, said inner core having a detonating velocity higher than that of said outer core, said inner core disposed for transmitting detonation waves of predetermined velocity to said outer core, said outer core being defined by a sheath enclosing a first explosive, and said inner core including a second explosive carried in a central opening of said first explosive.
- 2. A detonating cord as set forth in claim 1 wherein said detonating velocity of said first explosive is in the range of 10,000 to 21,000 feet per second.
- 3. A detonating cord as set forth in claim 2 wherein said detonating velocity of said second explosive is in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 feet per second.
