A more IM compliant grenade fuze assembly includes a fuze body, an energetics train disposed in the fuze body, and a striker lever rotatably attached to the fuze body. A spring-loaded rotor assembly is rotatably fixed to the fuze body. The rotor assembly includes a primer. A firing pin is disposed in one of the rotor assembly and the fuze body. Placing the primer in the rotor assembly decreases the area of the fuze assembly that is vulnerable to initiation by impact from a bullet, fragment, or shape charge.
摘要:
The present invention relates in general to a pressure discharge mechanism for closed vessels having an internal chamber designed to hold volatile and/or explosive substances in a sealed manner comprised of an at least one eutectic composition and a threaded joint designed to open or vent the closed vessel when the contents of the closed vessel reaches a predetermined temperature while maintaining full structural integrity during normal operation. In one aspect, the closed vessel is a munitions casing which functions as intended under normal operating environments, but then when exposed to extreme temperatures, reduces the munition's high order explosion capability, and is transformed into a safe, low order reaction with significantly less reactive potential. In one aspect, the closed vessel is a transport tanker which should not release substances contained therein. However, if the tanker catches fire, the pressure relief mechanism of the present invention reduces risk of explosion.
摘要:
A fluid control device is provided for controlling and/or halting an uncontrolled flow of petroleum or natural gas from an open well head on the sea floor. The fluid control device includes an elongated member having a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the well head casing. A tapered section in connection with the elongated section, has a diameter equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the well head casing. An end section connected to the tapered section has a diameter greater than or equal to the outside diameter of the well head casing. The fluid control device, under its own mass or under an external force, overcomes the upward forces created by the flowing petroleum or natural gas, resulting in sufficient downward movement of the fluid control device and contact with the open well to seal the well head casing or drill pipe.
摘要:
A method to reclaim or recycle asphalt or asphalt components to produce reusable asphalt or asphalt components featuring (a) providing asphalt or asphalt components; (b) adding the asphalt or asphalt components to a solution at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the asphalt binder; and optionally one or more of the following: grinding or breaking the asphalt to be reclaimed or recycled into chunks, millings or particulate prior to step a), c) screening or separating coarse aggregate and fine aggregate asphalt components from the solution of b), d) cleaning or removing asphalt binder and/or the solution from the coarse aggregate and fine aggregate asphalt components screened or separated in step c), and e) cleaning or removing asphalt binder from the solution of b).
摘要:
An apparatus and method is provided for controlling and/or halting the uncontrolled flow of petroleum and/or natural gas from an open well head on the sea floor in which the well head is in communication with a subterranean formation. The method includes lowering a fluid control device from a drilling ship to an alignment means positioned above an open well casing through which the petroleum and/or natural gas is flowing in an uncontrolled manner, then lowering the fluid control device through and/or adjacent to the alignment means and into the open well casing until a lower section of a fluid control device enters the open well casing. The fluid control device includes an elongated member at its tip, having a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the well head casing. A tapered section is in connection with the elongated section, the tapered section, or another section in connection with the tapered section, having a maximum diameter equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the well casing, and an end section in communication with the tapered section having a diameter greater than or equal to the outside diameter of the well head casing. The fluid control device can have a mass sufficiently great to overcome any upward forces created by flowing petroleum and/or natural gas, resulting in sufficient downward movement of the fluid control device and contact with the open well casing to seal same. Alternatively, a drilling rig in connection with the fluid control device can exert sufficient downward pressure thereon so as to overcome the pressure of the flowing petroleum, gas, etc., thereby creating a seal between the fluid control device and the well head.
