Mounting chucks. Characteristics and color coding

Powder construction pistols require mounting cartridges, the explosion energy of which ensures impact driving of dowels into concrete or metal surfaces. In this article we will talk about the types and markings of such cartridges.

Classification

Since a mismatch in the capabilities of the mounting cartridge can cause damage to the powder pistol, the classification of these consumables is carried out simultaneously according to several parameters:

• By color. It determines the charge power in joules, and the marking itself is made on the conical tip of the cartridge.
• In height and diameter. There are long (D) and short (K) cartridges. The mounting tool uses 5.6×16, 6.8×11 and 6.8×18 mm cartridges.
• By cartridge number, which determines the mass of the powder charge.
• According to the packaging method. For example, for repeating or automatic pistols, cartridges are supplied only in a belt.

All types of mounting chucks used in construction work have a standard design and consist of the following parts:

• A steel casing containing a charge of smokeless powder. In K series cartridges, gunpowder fills the entire space of the cartridge case, and in D series cartridges - only its bottom part;
• Capsule;
• A wad made of pressed gunpowder that holds the percussion compound in the cartridge case;
• Crimping of the sleeve from above with corresponding markings by color.

Materials and technical requirements for the production of mounting cartridges are regulated by the requirements of TU 3 -795-94.

Mounting cartridges of the bulletless type fire according to the same principle - when the striker of the pistol strikes the primer, the impact composition located in the cartridge is ignited sequentially. The explosion energy of the gunpowder released in this case accelerates the piston of the mounting gun to values ​​that provide the dowel-nail with the necessary speed of penetration into the material.

There are five conventional gradations in power, which is released when the mounting cartridge is triggered:

For 5.6 caliber cartridges, mounting cartridges with the number D6 are additionally produced, the kinetic energy of impact of which, in comparison with similar consumables of the D5 series, is increased by 30...35%. Thus, the operational capabilities of mounting cartridges are determined by their height and diameter, which must be consistent with the corresponding parameters of powder pistols.

Security measures

Since the cartridges for the mounting gun contain an explosive substance, the degree of danger of which, according to GOST 19733-74, is fourth, special precautions should be taken when using them. They boil down to the following:

Construction chuck

The PC-84 construction and assembly pistols use two types of special bulletless industrial cartridges of 6.8 mm caliber: coded “D” (long, 6.8×18 mm) and “K” (short, 6.8×11 mm) . They are produced according to TU 7272-099-07513406-98, corresponding to international CIP standards. Previously, mounting cartridges were produced according to TU 3-795-85, according to which cartridges marked “D” had a length of 22 mm, and “K” - 15 mm.

Mounting cartridges coded D and K, depending on the mass of the powder charge and, accordingly, its energy, are divided by number. The cartridges of each code and number have a distinctive coloring of the crimped end of the cartridge case (star), the color of which is indicated in the table.

Packaging of mounting cartridges MPU-3.
MPU-3 cartridge in comparison with a 5.45 mm automatic cartridge case. There are also reinforced construction and installation cartridges of the central fire of the MPU family (MPU-1 ... MPU-5, TU 3-1064-78), created on the basis of a 5.45-mm machine gun cartridge case, compressed onto an asterisk. They have much greater power and are used in industrial equipment such as stamping presses. They are also used by military historical reenactors as signal-blank cartridges (SBC) for firing from blank military weapons chambered for 7.62×25 mm caliber cartridges (TT pistol, PPSh and PPS assault rifles), since they approximately correspond to it in size and shape. Produced by Tula Cartridge), supplied in metal moisture-proof boxes (“zinc”), 1000 pcs. in each and are found in wholesale and (rarely) retail.

Previously, cartridges of the “B” and “G” brands were produced, as well as SMP based on shortened 7.62x54R cartridges, which were cut and crimped with an asterisk or plugged with a wad. The marking on the pack is Group “B” No. 9. The color marking is the same. Pack of 18 pcs. These cartridges were used in direct-action mounting guns (without an intermediate firing pin-piston), which were taken out of service due to the risk of injury (in all modern mounting guns, such a firing pin allows you to sharply reduce the energy of the shot if for some reason the dowel is not leaning against a hard surface) , as well as powder rail breakers such as PR-1, PR-2 and powder hole punchers for thick sheet metal (for example, in shipbuilding).

Foreign powder tools can also use mounting cartridges of 5.6×16 mm and 6.3×16 mm calibers, which are re-crimped and rolled sleeves, similar to the sleeves of small-caliber rimfire cartridges of the .22 LR type, or have a special bottle-shaped sleeve. They are also used in the domestic PPM mounting gun.

K series cassette construction and installation chucks

Fast mounting technology

In various fields of industry and construction, it is often necessary to install structures without resorting to preparatory operations. The so-called direct installation technique involves fastening individual parts to each other using construction guns, steel dowels and blank industrial chucks.

This cartridge is fired from a mounting gun, pressing it tightly against the surface to be fastened. Due to the impact force generated when the cartridge ruptures, the dowel fits tightly into concrete, brick or metal (with a thickness of no more than 6 mm). In this way, you can fasten elements without pre-drilling holes.

You can find areas of application for such connections everywhere: for fastening the equipment of plasterboard boards, metal mesh for finishing walls with marble or tiles, etc. and so on. Loads, differences in mechanical tasks and proposed circumstances determine a certain approach to the selection of consumables.

It is clear that the base into which the dowel fits has a different density, so construction cartridges of different power are used for such installation.

K series mounting chucks on cassette

Description and designations

Mounting cartridges are used as a source of energy for driving dowel-nails into concrete, steel and brick building structures when installing equipment, utility fasteners and hanging elements made of metal up to 6 mm thick.

They are a special bulletless cartridge in a steel case with a phosphate-varnish coating, which facilitates the extraction of the spent cartridge case from the chamber of the sighting tool.

They are designated by the codes D (long) and K (short) and marked with two numbers 6.8x18 or 6.8x11. The first number indicates the caliber, the second the length of the cartridge case.

Caliber and power of cartridges

Different brands of powder mounting guns are loaded with their own types of construction and mounting cartridges, which differ in caliber and power.

The most popular calibers for semi-automatic and automatic pistols are 6.8 x 11 and 6.8 x 18. And in single-shot pistols such as Hilti DX E72 or GFT307, a mounting cartridge of 56 x 16 is used. All of them are divided depending on the discharge power, which is indicated by using special color markings (yellow, red, blue, grey, black or green). The color identification is also repeated on the cartridge packaging.

A particularly important point is the correct choice of power, since the reliability of the connection will depend on this. So, for example, a power of up to 500 J is suitable for driving a dowel-nail into brickwork or a plastered wall, but an impact force of over 500 J can be used to drive a steel or concrete base.

Precautions when using starting flare pistols and 5.6mm revolvers.

Some unprepared citizens are connoisseurs of starting (signal) pistols and revolvers (usually pistols),

They do not know about such a feature of side firing cartridges as loose rolling of the cartridge. This happens regardless of the size and manufacturer in 5.6mm cartridges.

This can affect the performance of the pistol as follows:

When a pistol is fired, burning powder gases and sparks can penetrate the holes in the top of the remaining cartridges, causing the remaining cartridges in the clip to ignite and detonate. Which can lead to several bricks being deposited in the “shooter’s” pants.

In this regard, I recommend that you don’t be lazy and take any available tool, such as PVA glue.

(that's what I use) and seal the small round holes in the top of the cartridge. Basically, this kind of problem occurs if the gun is not properly cleaned. By the way, it’s a very relaxing activity, almost meditation (it perfectly relaxes the nervous system).

Particular importance should be attached to this when shooting with Hilti cartridges (especially red ones).

——————————————————————————————————–

What is the difference between a long cartridge and a short one?

Long cartridges are much louder than short ones.

The flash from a shot is much stronger with long cartridges than with short ones.

——————————————————————————————————–

Can I, from a pistol or revolver chambered for a long cartridge,

shoot short cartridges?

Yes you can.

——————————————————————————————————–

Can I, from a pistol or revolver chambered for a short cartridge,

shoot long cartridges?

No you can not.

Is it possible to buy less ammo than in a pack?

We sell cartridges only in packs of 100 pcs.

In rare cases, we can pour zhmenka free of charge (to the buyer we like).

Why is the caliber written 6mm but in reality 5.6mm?

5.6mm or 6mm which is correct?

The “small thing” has a bullet and cartridge caliber of 5.6mm.

Blank cartridges have exactly the same case caliber of 5.6 mm. I measured it myself.

I don’t know where this nonsense came from, but on half of the starting weapons they write 6mm,

although the real caliber is 5.6mm. The same is often written on cartridges. My final and factual verdict: There is no 6mm caliber in nature! There is an inscription, but not in nature =).

What is the joule capacity of your Umarex 5.6mm long cartridges?

There is no concept of power for starter cartridges, so I definitely won’t answer this question. I guess they are a little weaker than the brown Hilties.

On Hansa they wrote about 50-80 J (but this is not verified information).

——————————————————————————————————–

What is the power of Hilti 5.6*16 NC mounting chucks?

Brown 100+-50JGreen 150+-50JYellow 250+-50JBlue 350+-50JRed 450+-50J

Black 550+-50J

For comparison, the power of a live cartridge for a Makarov pistol (PM) is 300J.

Mounting cartridges of the bulletless type fire according to the same principle - when the striker of the pistol strikes the primer, the impact composition located in the cartridge is ignited sequentially. The explosion energy of the gunpowder released in this case accelerates the piston of the mounting gun to values ​​that provide the dowel-nail with the necessary speed of penetration into the material.

There are five conventional gradations in power, which is released when the mounting cartridge is triggered:

Weak. Color marking of the cartridge tip is white/gray, conventional cartridge number 1, approximate impact energy, J: for the D1 series cartridge - 680, for the K1 series cartridge - 550. Average. The color marking of the cartridge tip is yellow, the conventional cartridge number is 2, the approximate impact energy, J: for the D2 series cartridge - 820, for the K2 series cartridge - 600. Strong. The color marking of the cartridge tip is blue, the conventional cartridge number is 3, the approximate impact energy, J: for the D3 series cartridge - 960, for the K3 series cartridge - 680. Extra strong. The color marking of the cartridge tip is red, the conventional cartridge number is 4, the approximate impact energy, J: for the D4 series cartridge - 1090, for the K4 series cartridge - 740. Particularly strong. The color marking of the cartridge tip is black, the conventional cartridge number is 5, the approximate impact energy, J: for the D5 series cartridge - 1300, for the K5 series cartridge - 920.

For 5.6 caliber cartridges, mounting cartridges with the number D6 are additionally produced, the kinetic energy of impact of which, in comparison with similar consumables of the D5 series, is increased by 30...35%. Thus, the operational capabilities of mounting cartridges are determined by their height and diameter, which must be consistent with the corresponding parameters of powder pistols.

According to the current legislation in Russia (Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 5 of March 12, 2002), assembly cartridges do not belong to ammunition, therefore their use in the construction industry is permitted without restrictions.

The mounting chuck, also called by manufacturers and distributors industrial, construction and installation chuck, and construction chuck, is intended for driving dowels into materials of various densities (metal, brick, concrete) using a mounting gun when carrying out work using the so-called direct installation technology.

This technology makes it possible to fasten parts without pre-drilling holes, which significantly reduces the time required to complete the work. The construction cartridge is a sleeve, the size of which depends on the marking of the product, with a rolled barrel and an igniter primer.

The industrial cartridge is loaded with smokeless powder in the mass necessary to completely drive the dowel into the material. Personnel who have been instructed in safety precautions and the operation of mounting guns of the brand used in the work are allowed to work with cartridges.

We, ELECTRON LLC, offer mounting index (marking) cartridges D3 and D4 at prices starting from 1.5 rubles per unit. The cartridges sold by our company comply with the norms and standards adopted in Russia, and also have all the necessary documents confirming the quality of the products - GOST R 50530-2007.

Mounting cartridge: principle of operation

The principle of operation of all mounting guns is the same, only in powder guns the dowel is clogged with a piston, which is activated by the force of the explosion of the cartridge. The force on the dowel is selected in accordance with the density of the base into which it is driven. It can be adjusted either by choosing the power of the cartridge, or mechanically, if this is provided for by the design of the pistol.

A bulletless (blank) mounting cartridge has the form of a sleeve, the open end of which is rolled and is marked with color markings corresponding to the power. It is usually loaded with smokeless powder. Ignition and explosion occur after the firing pin hits the igniter primer.

In some cases, there are also mounting cartridge designs equipped with a Berdan and Boxer type primer (used in military projectiles).

Powder guns cannot be used for installation work involving materials such as glass, ceramics, cast iron, curbstone and granite.
