Usage Codes

Nominal open cup densities. In hole gassed product densities are dependent on the hole depth.

Nominal open cup densities. In field densities may vary due to the AN prill density and/or sampling techniques.

Guide Notes

Dyno Nobel emulsion blend names have a prefix indicating the emulsion type and a suffix indicating the emulsion weight %, with the remaining composition being ANFO. The addition of the letter “G” at the end indicates whether the product is gas sensitised eg TITAN 2070G = TITAN 2000 gassed blend containing 70 wt% emulsion or TITAN 2040 = TITAN 2000 heavy ANFO blend containing 40 wt% emulsion.

Dry hole is defined as a blast hole containing no water including no wet walls.

MST = Maximum Sleep Time (days). These figures represent the average combined known performance results derived from laboratory testing and observed use in the field by customers over many years. The MST is a guide for when the product is used in best case conditions and is likely to be less in practice.

A dewatered hole is defined as not recharging with water.

A wet hole is defined as a blast hole containing static water.

Dynamic water is defined as a recharge rate of >1m in 30 mins. If significant dynamic water is present, the suggested MST should be reduced.

Emulsion blends containing 50% emulsion are typically auger loaded. This product has reduced sensitivity and is recommended for hole depths <25m. Please consult your Dyno Nobel representative to check if delivery via hose and/or gas sensitisation of this product is suitable.

You should use the Dyno Nobel Gassing Table to determine the appropriate open cup density for the hole depth.

A = Auger P = Pump
