Today we are going to talk about what role powder factor plays in our daytoday applications of drilling and blasting. Powder factor is expressed in many different forms. Essentially it is a measurement of explosives per quantity of rock. The typical variation of this that we use on a daily basis is how many pounds of explosives per cubic yard ...

Please give me a detailed explanation answer. An overburden of shale will be removed using 200mm holes and 12m benches. Dry rock conditions are anticipated, and the decision is to use bulk ANFO with emulsion cartridges as a primer. The density of compacted ANFO is g/cm3, and the PF (powder factor) is expected to be not less than kg/m3.
