What reading level is A Manual On Explosives book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . . 60-61 Nitro -cotton . . . . . . 4-5 Wood pulp . . 9-7 Potassium nitrate . . . . . . 27 Geloxite is very similar to the above, but also contains 12 to 15 per cent, of ammonium, oxalate and 10 per cent, of red ochre, while Stowite is also substantially the same in composition. The addi- tion of ammonium oxalate or nitrate has the effect of reducing the temperature of explosion, and this ingredient is therefore often added to explosives intended for mining purposes.
Cordite is a very importa...nt explosive, and has a very large military application. It is composed of 30 per cent, of nitro-glycerine, 65 per cent, of gun-cotton, and 5 per cent, of mineral jelly or vaseline, its composition and density always being constant. It takes its name from the form in which it is manufactured, and it is a smokeless powder, and is used in all types of British ordnance.
After being pulped, the gun-cotton used for its manufacture is very carefully dried until it contains only £ per cent, of moisture, and is then weighed out into brass-lined wooden boxes and taken to the nitro-glycerine washing house, where the re- quisite quantity of the latter explosive is poured on to it from gutta-percha buckets.
