lyddite การใช้

• Firing Lyddite shells, or using trench mortars, was tried.
• The British started replacing lyddite with TNT in 1907.
• Lyddite presented a major safety problem because it reacted dangerously with metal bases.
• Hence it was not simply a case of switching existing filling machinery from Lyddite to Amatol.
• Its original shell was Lyddite explosive.
• Shell filling began on 11 November 1916, with both Lyddite and Amatol explosives being used in production.
• After surviving gunfire from in which shells filled with lyddite were tested, she was towed back to Portsmouth.
• Experiments with high explosives carried out on the shingle wastes around 1888 led to the invention of the explosive Lyddite.
• They were replaced by " common lyddite " shells in the late 1890s but some stocks remained as late as 1914.
• Proper detonation of a lyddite shell would show black to grey smoke, or white from the steam of a water detonation.
• Shimose developed a new explosive based on a form of picric acid used by France as melinite and by Britain as lyddite.
• The British version was called " " Lyddite " " after the town of Lydd where it was first manufactured.
• Yellow smoke indicated simple explosion rather than detonation, and failure to reliably detonate was a problem with lyddite, especially in its earlier usage.
• This was well suited to Lyddite filling, but it was found that Amatol with more than 40 % ammonium nitrate did not pour well.
• Since 1888, Britain started manufacturing a very similar mixture in Lydd, Kent, under the name "'lyddite " '.
• In 1914, the standard HE used by UK artillery was Lyddite, a formulation based on picric acid, this was a powerful explosive but expensive.
• The German armed forces adopted it as a filling for artillery lyddite-filled shells tended to explode upon striking armour, thus expending much of their energy outside the ship.
• From 1919 into the 1930s a less sensitive and safer version of Lyddite named "'Shellite "', consisting of 70 % Lyddite and 30 % dinitrophenol was used in naval AP shells.
• From 1919 into the 1930s a less sensitive and safer version of Lyddite named "'Shellite "', consisting of 70 % Lyddite and 30 % dinitrophenol was used in naval AP shells.
• There were five types of shell on the Fort Rodd manifest in 1897 : High Explosive ( Lyddite ), Armour-piercing, Common Pointed ( for non-armoured maritime targets ), and Shrapnel.
