Equipment Used for Explosive Trace Detection


 
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.
