Production Processes
The processes of manufacturing the GH charges include a strict set of processes that guarantees superior quality and consistency:
1. Casing Fabrication: The charge casing is welded and manufactured with good-quality steel. The stability and strength of each of them get thoroughly tested.
2. Explosive Loading: The charge of the explosive accurately weighs and charges each cartridge with consistency and effect in place.
3. Curing & Stability: The charges get stabilised after charging such that the explosive substance does not degrade during shipping and storage.
4. Precision Machining: The charges that will be stabilized will be fine machined with the fitting specification required fitting suitably with Scalloped Hollow Carrier Guns.
5. Final Inspection: The charges are inspected dimensionally and during operation to assure that they meet strict standards of excellence.
