Methods For Routine Work In The Explosives Physical Laboratory Of The Bureau Of Mines Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Methods for Routine Work in the Explosives Physical Laboratory of the Bureau of Mines There are usually three testing engineers, either junior explosives engineers, junior chemists, or junior mining engineers; their num ber may be more or less than three according to the amount of work on hand. These engineers usually report to the explosives engineer through the assistant engineer and may report directly.

Excerpt from Specific-Gravity Separation: Applied to the Analysis of Mining Explosives In the course of its investigations to determine what explosives can be used with least danger and greatest efficiency in mining Operations, the Bureau of Mines has analyzed many samples of explosives and has devised methods for increasing the accuracy and lessening the cost of analytical work. It has also examined various processes, among them those devised for separating the different solid ingredients of mixtures by differences of specific gravity.
