Cartridge Delay Element

Cartridge Delay Elements are components used in ammunition and explosive devices to control the timing of their functioning. They are part of the supply class Cartridge And Propellant Actuated Devices And Components, which falls under the supply group Ammunition And Explosives.

Cartridge Delay Elements are designed to introduce a delay between the initiation of the device and its actual functioning. This delay can be crucial in various applications, such as artillery shells, rockets, or other explosive devices, where precise timing is required for optimal performance or safety reasons.

The delay element is typically integrated into the cartridge or propellant system and is activated upon firing or initiation. It consists of a mechanism or material that delays the ignition or activation of the main explosive charge or other components within the device.

The specific design and characteristics of Cartridge Delay Elements can vary depending on the intended application and requirements. They are engineered to provide consistent and reliable delay times, ensuring the proper functioning of the ammunition or explosive device.

Overall, Cartridge Delay Elements play a critical role in controlling the timing and functioning of ammunition and explosive devices, contributing to their effectiveness and safety.
