摘要

INVENTOR: G?NTHER DIEWALD INVENTION: REINFORCEMENT CHARGE-DETONATOR CAP CONTAINING OCTOGEN CRYSTALS FOR PROJECTILES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME A detonator cap containing octogen crystals for projectiles for initiating detonation or for the transmission of a detonation, wherein the octogen crystals possess a size greater than 75 microns and smaller than 150 microns, the relationship between the length and diameter of the crystals amounts to about 3:1, and the edges of the crystals are undamaged. To produce the detonator cap a mixture of different types of octogen crystals is enriched with the aforementioned size of preferred octogen crystals by wet sieving.
