Abstract:

The energy density spectrum level between 500 and 2500 Hz of the 2.75 g T4 electrical detonator used by the Italian Navy and SACLANTCEN is described. This detonator may constitute an attractive and inexpensive substitute to the larger TNT charges when high source levels are not required andor local circumstances prohibit using the larger charges.
