Editing Detonating cord (section)

==Rating==
Detonating cord is rated in explosive mass per unit length. This is expressed in [[grain (measure)|grain]]s per foot in the United States, or in grams per metre elsewhere. A "grams per metre" rating will be roughly one fifth the "grains per foot" rating. For example, "50 grain det. cord" refers to detonating cord which has 50 grains of explosive per foot of length—or approximately 10 g/m. This is a typical "default" rating for connecting charges for blasting; lighter detonating cords may be used for "low noise blasting" and movie [[special effect]]s, while heavier cords, used where the cord is employed to have some direct explosive effect—such as for precision rock carving work—may use 50 to 250 grain/foot (10 to 50 g/m) detonating cord.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://crazyhorsememorial.org/about-us/carving-the-mountain/an-inside-look-at-carving-a-mountain/ |title=An Inside Look at Carving a Mountain<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2015-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150217152518/http://crazyhorsememorial.org/about-us/carving-the-mountain/an-inside-look-at-carving-a-mountain/ |archive-date=2015-02-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
