Arduino-Based Low Cost Device for the Measurement of Detonation Times in Blasting Caps

“…Blasting caps with pyrotechnic delay have a dispersion in the detonation times with respect to their nominal values due to the chemical nature of the delay element itself, whose reaction speed can suffer slight variations due to aging of the delay pyrotechnic element, density/porosity variation due to production, small changes in its composition, temperature changes, different manufacturing batches, etc. [8]. Dispersion values of pyrotechnic delay detonators are given in several publications [7,[9][10][11], usually being a dispersion between 4 to 8% of their nominal value.…”
