IIRC, you could reduce the cutting formula when using detcord due to the simulated accelerated shaping of the wraps, esp for wood and other lightweight/porous/low density materials. |
Det cord doesn't "burn", it detonates, hence the name, "detonating cord".
If you are referring to the propogation rate of the explosion of the det cord, since it is primarily RDX based, the rate should be in the 7,000 m/s range.
