            • A shaped charge is an explosive which has been shaped in such a way that when detonated the energy of the explosion is channeled in one direction. army-technology.com - by Enrique Cavalitto
          • Example sentence(s)
            • 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. - globalsecurity.org by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Shaped charges were first developed after World War I to penetrate tanks and other armored equipment. Their most extensive use today is in the oil and gas industry where they open up the rock around drilled wells. - llnl.gov by Enrique Cavalitto
            • This source has been used since 1971 in routine seismic operation in the Amazon jungle with 300 gram unit charges distributed in small and large shot arrays increasing substantially the coverage and halving the cost at a higher record quality. A large amount of production seismic field work has been carried out in several other areas attesting the successful application of the shaped charges. - Wiley InterScience by Enrique Cavalitto

            • Die Hohlladung ist eine spezielle Anordnung von brisantem Sprengstoff, (oft auf Nitropenta- oder Hexogen/Oktogenbasis) um eine kegel- oder halbkugelförmige Metalleinlage, die sich besonders zum Durchschlagen von Panzerungen eignet. Sie wird als panzerbrechende Munition‎ dementsprechend in Panzermunition, Panzerabwehrwaffen und Streubomben eingesetzt. Hohlladungen werden auch im zivilen Bereich für den Abbruch eingesetzt, oft in Form von Schneidladungen. wikipedia - by M TRANSLATIO (X)
