Has a much longer half-life than the lighter isotopes, DU emits less alpha radiation than natural uranium. Less than a third of those in natural uranium. , which is the uranium isotope supporting the fission chain reaction) with the bulk of the feed ending up as depleted uranium, in some cases with mass fractions of 235 Enrichment processes generate uranium with a higher-than-natural concentration of lower- mass-number uranium isotopes (in particular 235 Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Military uses include armor plating and armor-piercing projectiles. Uses of DU take advantage of its very high density of 19.1 grams per cubic centimetre (0.69 lb/cu in) ( 68.4% denser than lead).Ĭivilian uses include counterweights in aircraft, radiation shielding in medical radiation therapy and industrial radiography equipment, and containers for transporting radioactive materials. The less radioactive and non-fissile 238Ĭonstitutes the main component of depleted uranium. Our advice is to check out the handy product video’s and see what takes your fancy.Depleted uranium ( DU also referred to in the past as Q-metal, depletalloy or D-38) is uranium with a lower content of the fissile isotope 235
Generally 1.3g fireworks are bigger and louder, but that’s no guarantee of satisfaction more than our 1.4g fireworks, with many stunning low noise fireworks available. There is no easy answer with the wide range of fireworks available, it can depend on the occasion and effect you want to achieve. Most of the fireworks you can buy online at Dynamic Fireworks are 1.4g, whether these are barrages and cakes, fountains and mines or rockets but we have produced a special section for our 1.3g fireworks. They will find these fireworks fall into either HT3 or HT4 with HT3 being the higher classification and in general offering the bigger bursts and effects within the fireworks, but this is not always the case with many 1.4g fireworks offering stunning effects and value. This is not true, the most commonly use classifications the members of the public can buy are categories F1,F2 and F3. Many people confuse categories with hazard type and believe the higher category the better the firework. Other categories used rarely are hazard types 5 and 6. Hazard Type 4 (HT4 or 1.4g fireworks) – presents a low fire hazard and with no significant blast or projectile hazard.Hazard Type 3 (HT3 or 1.3g fireworks) – Has a fire hazard and minor blast and projectile hazard but does not have a mass explosion hazard.Hazard Type 2 (HT2 or 1.2g fireworks) – present a serious projectile hazard but does not have a mass explosive hazard.Hazard Type 1 (HT1 or 1.1g fireworks) – can present as a very high hazard with potential of mass explosion.These categories are often confused with the hazard type category used with regards to transportation and storage of fireworks, normally identified by a hazard diamond on the outer box or outside of a vehicle.
PROJECTILE EFFECTS ARE A HAZARD IN PROFESSIONAL
Category F4 – Professional Fireworks – have a high hazard, which are intended for use only by persons with specialist knowledge/professional company for use within professional displays.Category F3 – Display Fireworks – present a medium hazard, which are intended for outdoor use in large open areas such as fields.Category F2 – Garden Fireworks – present a low hazard and are intended for outdoor use in areas such as small gardens.Category F1 – Indoor Fireworks – presenting a very low hazard and intended for use in confined areas like inside domestic buildings.Many people see categories F1,F2,F3 and F4 assigned to the fireworks in their basket, this relates to the testing of the fireworks through type, purpose and level of hazard.
What is the difference between Category and Hazard Type of firework?
In this blog will try to clear that up for you. Fireworks are classified in to a variety of different categories, these categories can cause much confusion.
