Getting Married They contain neither dynamite, nor cordite, nor anything of the kind, yet, given a fair field and no favour, they'll work more mischief than all the explosives man has fashioned. The Beetle Armed with a double-barreled cordite rifle and the comforting reflection that the chances were seven to one that the rhinos would not charge, I slowly advanced alone toward the two rhinos. In Africa Hunting Adventures in the Big Game Country As an example of this I might instance a waterbuck into which I saw my companion empty five heavy 465 and double 500 bullets from cordite rifles before it fell! The Land of Footprints The finished cordite resembles a cord of gutta-percha, and its colour varies from light to dark brown. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Every lot of cordite from each manufacturer has a consecutive number, numbers representing the size and one or more initial letters to identify the manufacturer. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise In the case of cordite, as also with ballistite, a considerable quantity of aqueous vapour has to be added to the permanent gases formed. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Each of the four hunters carried a large double-barreled cordite rifle that fires a five-hundred-grain bullet, backed up by nearly a hundred grains of cordite. In Africa Hunting Adventures in the Big Game Country In a series of experiments conducted by the War Office Chemical Committee on Explosives in 1891, it was conclusively shown that considerable quantities of cordite may be burnt away without explosion. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise For firing blank cartridges cordite chips containing no vaseline is used. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise The pressures given by cordite compared with those given by black powder in the 6-inch gun will be seen upon reference to Fig. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Heating cordite and firing it hot undoubtedly does disturb its shooting qualities, but as far as we can see, not much more than gunpowder. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise It is claimed for this powder, that it does not corrode the barrel in the way cordite does, that with equal pressure it gives greatly increased velocity, and therefore flatter trajectory. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise That the maximum flame temperature of axite is considerably less than that of cordite, and the erosive effect is therefore considerably less. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise A number of wooden cases, containing 500 to 600 lbs. each of cordite, were placed upon a large bonfire of wood, and burned for over a quarter of an hour without explosion. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise It is therefore practicable to use axite cartridges giving higher velocities than can be employed with cordite, as with such velocities the latter would nickel the barrel by excessive friction. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise With regard to the effect of heat upon cordite, there is some difference of opinion. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise That the effect of temperature on the pressure and velocity with axite is only half that with cordite. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Five rounds from the Service axite and Service cordite were placed in an oven and heated to a temperature of 110° F. for one hour, and were then fired for pressure. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise With respect to the action of cordite upon guns, Sir A. Noble points out that the erosion caused is of a totally different kind to that of black powder. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise The acetone used in the manufacture of cordite should conform to the following specification:— Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Nitro-glycerine is also largely used in the manufacture of smokeless powders, such as cordite, ballistite, and several others. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise Dr W. Anderson, F.R.S., says that there is no doubt that the effect of heat upon cordite is greater than upon black powder. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise At a temperature of 110° F. the cordite used in the 4.7-inch gun is considerably affected as regards pressure. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise The surface of the barrel in the case of cordite appears to be washed away smoothly by the gases, and not pitted and eaten into as with black powder. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise The mould is inserted in a specially designed press, and the cordite paste forced through a die with one or more holes. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise In case of the finer cordite, such as the rifle cordite, the next operation is blending. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise For the same muzzle velocity a smaller charge of cordite than gunpowder is required owing to the greater amount of gas produced. Nitro-Explosives: A Practical Treatise The rate at which cordite explodes depends in a measure upon the diameter of the cords, and the pressure developed upon its mechanical state.
