Pyrotechnic Delays and Thermal Sources

M. A. Wilson and R. J. Hancox

ABSTRACT: The technology associated with pyrotechnic delays, together with the many factors, both physical and chemical, that affect the performance of delay compositions and influence the design of delay elements have been outlined. The production of heat by thermite and thermate systems is similarly discussed.

Keywords: pyrotechnics, gassy delays, black powder, gasless delays, thermites, thermates, incendiaries, Goldschmidt reaction
