    APPENDIX A - IN-LINE INITIATOR CERTIFICATION

    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Provides general requirements for design and establishes uniform methods for testing electric initiators and electric initiator subassemblies. Aims to determine the electric characteristics, soundness of mechanical design, output, and resistance to deleterious service environments.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This specification furnishes general requirements for design and establishes uniform methods for testing electric initiators and electric initiator subassemblies. The purpose of the testing program is to determine the electric characteristics, soundness of mechanical design, output, and resistance to deleterious service environments. For purposes of this specification the term electric initiator includes items classified in FSC 1377 such as hot wire initiators, exploding bridgewire initiators, exploding foil initiators, conductive mix initiators, etc. Electric primers are not covered in this specification. All requirements for in-line initiators used in safety sensitive, non-interrupted energetic materials train applications are contained in Appendix A. Requirements for all other initiators are in the main body of this document.
