Any operation that is carried out at
hazardous locations needs the use of explosive detection equipment. A
hazardous location is one that has a significant concentration of dust, flames
or vapors. Each of these components can lead to major accidents if left
unchecked. Therefore, the uses of detection equipment is crucial at hazardous locations.
Process
and Maintenance
The journey will begin with identifying
the exact source from where one can obtain such equipment. Once the equipment
has been obtained, installing it in the appropriate
manner and at right location is essential. The explosive trace detection
should be procured on a regular basis rather than doing it in the interval of time. It is very much
important to check regularly and maintain
the equipment to stay in top form and for serving as the long-term process. If
the equipment fails to serve the demands or found a lapse in safety standards and lacking
in giving the desired performance, then it should have to be replaced immediately.
Grenades are the small versions of mass
destruction. These are operated by hand, therefore, popularly known as hand
grenades. Over the last few years, the uses of military weaponry such as inert grenades are used by armed forces. Not only by the departmental forces but
also by the CRPF, BSF and other security forces.
The three main components of such grenades
are:
·
Body
The body parts of such
grenades contain the filler and in some
grenades, offer fragmentation. They either have soldered bottom or a patched
bottom as all of them needs to be drilled out at the bottom side.
·
Filler
The filler is the
attached explosive substance available in the body part of the grenade that
gives the grenade its characteristics and determines its usability.
·
Fuse Assembly
Fuse assembly is the heart and soul of
these grenades and causes the grenade to function by means of a chain reaction
of mechanical, electrical and pyrotechnic actions. The most vital part is the fuse, and it should be 100% dependable.
