	Shaped charge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A shaped charge is an explosive charge shaped to focus the effect of the explosive's energy.
		Shaped charges are frequently used as warheads in anti-tank missiles (guided and unguided) and also gun-fired projectiles (spun and unspun), rifle grenades, mines, bomblets, torpedoes and various types of air/land/sea-launched guided missiles.
		Shaped charges find their most numerous application in the petroleum industry, in particular in the completion of oil wells, in which they are used to perforate the metal casing of the well at intervals to admit the influx of oil.

	Shaped Charge (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A shaped charge is a concave metal hemisphere or cone (known as a liner) backed by a high explosive, all in a steel or aluminum casing.
		Conventional shaped charges are constructed with a charge case, a hollow conical liner within the case, and a high explosive material positioned between the liner and case.
		Shaped charges are incorporated in a hollow carrier gun or a strip positioned in the casing.

		The high explosive is usually shaped to have a cavity in the form of a cone, with the cavity lined with a copper liner.
		A shaped charge jet carries a significant part of the energy released during the original charge explosion.
		Reactive armor designs are based on the assumption that dispersing the shaped charge jet, so that it impacts on a large are of the structure behind the reactive armor, will reduce the jet's penetration into it.

	Dual-function storage container for prilled explosive - Patent 4641581
		A shaped charge is an explosive charge so shaped that the energy of the explosive, released upon detonation, is concentrated in a small area.
		The effectiveness of the shaped charge is due to the energy being directed to produce a piercing jet from the base of the charge.
		The handles 6 are shaped and placed on the upper section of the container so as to permit the stacking of several containers for ease of transportation and empty containers may be used for standoff.

	RPG-43 H.E.A.T. Hand Grenade (WWII) - Inert-Ord.net
		In simple terms, the conical shape of the explosive creates a 'focused' detonation consisting of an extremely high energy jet of gas and molten metal, (the forward metal cone liner is critical to this process), punching through the target like a hot knife through butter.
		The same charge in solid form would have much less penetrating power, as the blast would be spread out over a large area.
		(Shaped charge munitions typically have an extended hollow nose to provide the correct offset.) The Russians quickly discovered this and improved the design with the development of the RPG-6 late in the war, adopting a streamlined, compact shape with an extended hollow nose.

	PAGE MASTER
		The shaped charge effect, variously known as the hollow charge effect, the cavity effect, or the Munroe Effect, dates to the 1880s Naval Torpedo Station, Newport, Rhode Island.
		In both the hand-launched and rifle- or rocket-propelled weapons, the shaped charge warhead is a mass of a highly brisant explosive formed around a hollow metal liner, usually copper or aluminum.
		The standoff distance, and hence the effectiveness of the shaped charge, also depends upon the terminal velocity of the warhead, the speed at which it strikes the target.

	Explosives Limited - perforating division
		The flow area of the perforations is the sum total of the area created by the shaped charges in the casing during perforating operations.
		In terms of specifications a shaped charge is classified as a big hole when it creates an entrance hole (EH) in excess of 0.55" and a super big hole (SBH) is any shaped charge that creates a EH in excess of 0.80".
		Depending on what type of shaped charge you are dealing with the jet stream may still be developing as it exits the carrier and before it reaches the casing a nanosecond later.

	SWO: House Rules: Shaped Charges
		A shaped charge is, for lack of a better definition, a formed piece of explosive material that is used for cutting through structural material, usually doors, walls and armor.
		The shape of the charge is usually made up of a metal frame or container that is designed to direct the force of the blast in a single direction, either in a plane or in a straight line, resulting in a cutting effect.
		A small shaped charge is placed over each of the locations where he has determined the hinges to be.

		Considerations which make >shaped charges difficult for kitchen chemists are the uniformity >(both in density and quality) of the explosive and of the >detonation.
		Several shaped charge liners were sawn up into pieces, and these were then carefully re-assembled and kept in place.
		When the charges were detonated towards a deep water tank, it was regularly possible to recover the slug - subdivided into as many pieces as the liner had been cut into.

	Factsheets Database - Fact Sheet No 2 (Ammunition Types) Shaped Charge - Powered by ReviewPost
		A typical modern shaped charge can penetrate armour steel to a depth of 7 or more times the diameter of the charge's cone (cone diameters, CD), though greater depths of 10 CD and above are now feasible.
		In charges for oil-well completion, however, it is essential that a solid slug or andquot;carrotandquot; not be formed, since it would plug the hole just penetrated and interfere with the influx of oil.
		Since the charges were less effective at larger standoffs, side and turret skirts (known as Schurzen) were fitted to some German tanks to give the jet room to disperse and hence reduce its penetrating ability.

	AnaLog on Lined Shaped Charge Jet Perforators
		A typical shaped charge consists of a high explosive into which a cone shaped cavity is pressed The cavity is fitted with a metal conical liner, often made from copper, or copper alloys.
		The lined shaped charge was originally developed for warfare, but ironically they are now used extensively to disarm landmines in war torn countries around the world.
		The outer metal housing of the charge may be designed to be used in a hollow steel carrier, or it may constitute its own water and pressure tight housing (the latter often called capsule charges).

	Shaped Charges
		When a shaped charge (see A) detonates the energy is concentrated to the center of the hollow space in front of and along the axis of the charge (see B).
		The destructive force of an exploding hollow charge is concenztrated to a relatively small area immediately to the front of the warhead.
		In terms of shaped charges the additional tank tracks, wood crates etc. certainly were valuable (however these often would still not suffice to stop the hollow charge munitions).

		I seem to recall the resistance claim using "cone shaped bombs" as early as 2004.
		Given that essentially a shaped charge is a sheath of metal in the shape of a cone lined with explosive, I would postulate that the "shaped charge" has been in Iraq for some time now.
		"Shaped charges" is a coded phrase meaning "evil Muslim weaponry." We know these are evil Muslim tactics because we know the benevolent Israelis and their US proxy do not use shaped charges.

	Shaped Charge Hollow Charge Hohlladung (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Because this shield for predetonating the shaped charge is not meant to be solid additional armor but merely meant as a trigger for the premature explosion, any device that will serve this purpose will do, even mesh wire, as we will see.
		To defend against the attachment of magnetic hollow charges (allied counterparts of the Hafthohlladungen) the germans developed the "Zimmerit" coating for their tanks (more info on Zimmerit). Zimmerit consisted of about 40% Barium Sulphate, 15% of ocre/sand pigment (=color), 10% Zinc Sulphide and 10% glue mixed with sawdust; the remaining 25% were Mowilith, a polyvinyl-acetate.
		It was also realized that anything that would prematurely detonate the shaped charge would greatly enhance armor protection against these weapons.

		GLO is repeatedly linked to the physics codes and adjusts the shaped-charge design until it obtains as close a match as possible to the specified hole profile.
		Often, the code that GLO directs is the two-dimensional hydrodynamic code, CALE (C-language arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian), in which is embedded a number of parameters defining the overall size and geometry of the shaped charge.
		The CALE calculations result in a definition of the geometry of the jet of metal formed when the cone of a particular shaped-charge configuration is compressed by the explosive charge.

	High explosive anti-tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds are made of an explosive shaped charge that uses the Neumann effect (a development of the Munroe effect) to create a very high-velocity jet of metal in a state of superplasticity that can punch through solid armor.
		Observers from several countries realised that the principle was not new but an application of the shaped charge.
		Some anti-armor weapons incorporate a variant on the shaped charge concept that, depending on the source, can be called a Self Forging Fragment (SFF), Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP), SElf FOrging Projectile (SEFOP), plate charge, or Misznay Schardin (MS) charge.

	AnaLog's Brief History of Shaped Charge Perforators
		Prior to the introduction of lined shaped charge perforators, almost all research emphasis was placed on increasing the depth of bullet penetration.
		The lined shaped charge perforator a/k/a the jet perforator or jet charge has displaced the old bullet perforators (nearly to extinction), and this is the story of their development.
		But being forced to manufacture their own perforating charges was good for GO, as they eventually grew to be the largest supplier of jet charges in the world.
