Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016122720A1] A high energy pipe severing tool is arranged to align a plurality of pressure balanced explosive pellets along a unitizing central tube that is selectively separable from a tubular external housing. The explosive pellets are loaded serially in a column and in full view along the entire column as a final charging task. Detonation boosters are pre-positioned and connected to detonation cord for simultaneous detonation at opposite ends of the explosive column. Devoid of high explosive pellets during transport, the assembly may be transported with all boosters and detonation cord connected.
