Blast timing using electronic detonators – what delay values to choose?
The flexibility in programming electronic detonators, the accuracy of modern electronic detonators and their ability to fire at exceptionally long delays compared to pyrotechnic detonators has provided some dilemma to users concerning their choice of delays when designing the timing for a blast. Coupled to this complexity are advanced software tools for designing and analysing blast timing designs, which are often not used to their full capability.
