Time Fuze

Time fuzes are a type of fuze used in ammunition and explosives. They are classified under the supply class "Fuzes And Primers" in the supply group "Ammunition And Explosives."

Time fuzes are designed to initiate the detonation of an explosive device after a specific time delay. This delay can be pre-set to ensure that the explosive is activated at a desired time or distance from the point of launch or impact. Time fuzes are commonly used in artillery shells, bombs, and other munitions.

The functioning of a time fuze involves a mechanism that measures the elapsed time since the fuze was armed. Once the pre-set time delay has passed, the fuze triggers the detonation of the explosive charge. This allows for precise control over the timing of the explosion, making time fuzes useful in various military and civilian applications.

It is important to handle time fuzes with extreme caution, as they are sensitive and can be dangerous if mishandled or tampered with. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are essential when working with ammunition and explosives.
