Instrumentation
Nitro is specialized in performance measurement of explosives. We use modern technology to evaluate how the energy of an explosive is being used and its loss to the medium as vibration, noise, gas, and etcetera


Videoscope: Measurements of the quality of a rock mass, its geology, porosity, water content and fracturing.





Borehole Profiling (Boretrack): Evaluate borehole deviation and ideal depth for a given blast and drilling design.




Photography and High Speed Filming: Techniques for filming, high speed filming and photography for assessing the quality of explosive formulations, casting, blast design, initiation sequence, effective stemming and dust – gas generation. Download demonstration video .




Fragmentation: Size distribution measurement for a blast, D50 and other parameters, fragment size and blasting evaluation.





VOD: Measuring the quality of explosives formulations, effective velocity of detonation (shock wave) delay scattering and deflagration.






Determination of scattering delay times: Real time measurement of fuse delay, both shock tube (non-electric), as det cord to avoid the simultaneous initiation of holes, vibration and fragmentation problems.
