In the manufacture of detonators, tolerances are held on the manufacturing process...
Within the tolerance similar detonators will not be identically the same (timings or otherwise)...
Slightly differences in detonators results from the manufacturing process and cause times to vary slightly from one detonator to another or from batch to batch...
If we test a batch of detonators for their timings, we can determine the mean firing time for that particular batch and from this the standard deviation and the tolerances can also be found...
In the blasting parlance, these tolerances in firing time is called “cap scatter”...
Detonators are given a rated firing time, but it is highly improbable for detonators to fire at exactly the same time...
“Cap scatter”, if overlooked in the design of a blast, would complicate the problem...
