Industry:Mining
An unsheathed explosive incorporating cooling agents, which is equivalent in safety (relating to the ignition of methane-air mixture) on a charge-weight basis to an explosive having a sheath of cooling agents around it. Abbrev. for equivalent-to-sheathed explosive.
Industry:Mining

Industry:Mining
Analysis in which the coal sample passes first to a conditioning unit, which dries and grinds it, then to an X-ray analysis unit. The analysis is based on the difference in the reflection of X-rays by the combustible and noncombustible components of the sample. The reflection is compared photoelectrically with a reference sample.
