Packaged Explosives
On the Packaged Explosives tab of the Consumables Library form, the properties and cost of the various packaged explosives deployed within your projects can be defined.
Append Row
The Append Row icon is used to add a row to the Packaged Explosives table, into which the details for a packaged explosive can be entered.
Name
Enter the identifying name of the packaged or cartridge explosive product that can be used to load drillholes in the Name column. Each explosive must have a unique name.
Density (g/cm)
Enter a density in grams per cubic centimetre in the Density (g/cm3) column for each product. If a density is not specified, then a density of 1.0 g/cm3 will be used to mass calculations.
Cost ($/t)
Optionally enter a unit cost per ton entered in the Cost ($/t) column to allow the application to calculate the total costs associated with the use of the product on a given round.
Diameter (mm)
The diameter of the packaged explosive, in millimetres, is entered in the Diameter (mm) column. The diameter will be used in the calculation of the mass explosive that occupies part of the drillhole column.
Length (mm)
The physical length of the packaged explosive, in millimetres, is entered in the Length (mm) column. The length value specified here will be used to calculate the cost associated with the use of a packaged explosive – see Cost of Material.
Colour
The box in the Colour column is used to set a default colour for the explosive. This colour will be used to colour the section of a blasthole that is occupied by this product.
