Recent research by the Bureau of Mines on the ignition of firedamp by explosives / (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, ), by Sherman Leidich Gerhard, Wilbert James Huff, and J.
Holtz (page images at HathiTrust). The ignition of firedamp by permissible explosives is assessed by means of gallery testing conducted by the Bruceton up-and-down method. Six test series were made in order to analyze the influence.
The ignition of firedamp by permissible explosives is assessed by means of gallery testing conducted by the Bruceton up-and-down method.
Six test series were made in order to analyze the influence of several blasting practices in long-holes coal blasting, namely: use of slotted PVC pipes, detonating cord, salt cartridges and double (top and bottom) by: 5.
Research grew from studies of newer explosives and blasting technology for underground coal mines to include applications for all types of mining. During wartime the USBM applied it’s expertise to studies and research that supported national defense.
Following World War II, the USBM continued explosives research for industrial applications. The ignition of firedamp by permissible explosives is assessed by means of gallery testing conducted by the Bruceton up-and-down method.

[Explosion Limits and Flash Points in Which One or Two of the Gases Are Endother of Combustible Liquids.]. As coal mining developed in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, severe mine explosions became common.
It was soon discovered that the origin of the explosions was the ignition of mixtures of flammable gas, or firedamp and air, which accumulated in the mines.
Firedamp is essentially methane liberated from coal when pressure is released. It appears, however, that more explosives have been used in industry for peaceful purposes than in all the wars put together.1,2 According to U.S.

sible explosives had a great effect on reducing the number of underground explosions. When the original tests on explosives were developed, very little was known about the mechanism of the ignition of methane-air mixtures.
