EN 13763-16:2003 (E)5IntroductionDuring blasting work, detonators and surface connectors with different delay times are used to ensure that thesequence of initiation of the explosive charges is executed in a controlled way. This test checks that the timeinterval between adjacent numbers in a manufacturer’s series of delay type detonators and surface connectors lieswithin specified limits designed to reduce the risk of overlapping.
EN 13763-16:2003 (E)61 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for determining the delay time accuracy of detonators and surfaceconnectors with pyrotechnic delay elements. It does not apply to those with an electronic time delay.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 13857-1, Explosives for civil uses — Part 1: Terminology.EN ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC17025:1999).3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 13857-1 and the following apply.3.1overlappingdetonation out of intended sequence3.2outliervalue in a series of measured values significantly outside the normal distribution of the series and causingsignificant overlapping probability to adjacent interval numbers4 Test piecesSelect 30 detonators or surface connectors of each interval number (i.e. nominal delay time stated by themanufacturer) from a specific type, having the same chemical composition, charge, dimensions and material ofconstruction.

In the case ofmagnetically coupled detonators, the transformer coupling unit shall be removed before testing.6.2DeterminationThe test shall be carried out within ± 2 °C of the conditioning temperature.Connect the detonators or surface connectors to the apparatus (see 5.4). For non-electric detonators or surfaceconnectors, install the optical start pulse sensor at the shock tube, at a distance specified by the manufacturer, butat least 1 000 mm from the initiation point at the end of the shock tube (if necessary after removing the endsealing). Insert the detonators or surface connectors in the apparatus (see 5.5) so as to obtain a stop pulse fromthe optical sensor or pressure sensor when the base charge (secondary charge) of the detonator or surfaceconnector is initiated.Initiate the detonators or surface connectors and record the individual delay times and the number of misfires.7 Expression of resultsCalculate the results of the tests according to B.1 to B.5.NOTEB.6 can optionally be used to present the results in B.1 and B.4 graphically.8 Test reportThe test report shall conform to EN ISO/IEC 17025.

EN 13763-16:2003 (E)9Annex A(informative)Range of applicability of the test methodRange of applicability of the test method: - 30 °C to + 80 °C (see NOTE)NOTEDue to the nature of pyrotechnics, the results of the delay time testing will vary with temperature. From theexperience from former national standards, testing is only carried out at one defined temperature, usually + 20 °C. However ifdifferent pyrotechnic charges are used in adjacent interval numbers, proper measures should be taken in order to ensure thatthe possible differences in temperature dependency of these charges will not cause a significant probability of overlapping athigh or low temperatures.
