  Metric Loading Table

 

Imperial Loading Table

Explosives load based on 1.0 g/cc.  To achieve explosives load for other product densities,

multiply load per foot by that product density.

 

IMPERIAL Column Load Formula

lbs / ft = 0.34 X De2 X d

De = Diameter of Explosives in inches

d = Density of Explosives in g/cc

 

Example

0.84 g/cc in 5" hole

Explosive Load = 8.51 X 0.84 = 7.15 lb/ft
