line charge/linear charge

English to German Tech/Engineering Military / Defense clearing charge

From a brochure about a lightweight clearing charge. It is also described as a 'terrain conforming flat line charge', and its physical data mention '34 ft of total linear charge'. I assume both terms mean the same?

Thank you!

AndersonT (X) Sep 5, 2012: Sprengschnur Muß wohl eine sein, da für lineare Ladungen sonst nur noch Rohre in Betracht kämen, die allerdings nicht oder nur wenig "terrain conforming" sein können.
meirs Sep 5, 2012: On the contrary I think that "flat" refers to the shape (cross section) of the charge - whereas "terrain conforming" is its property to conform to "ups and downs" of a non-flat terrain. otherwise, "flat" would be before "terrain".
Bernd Runge Sep 5, 2012: flat line Schwer zu sagen - kann im Zusammenhang mit terrain conforming auch heißen, dass sie dem Gelände-/Oberflächenverlauf nicht nur (grob) folgt, sondern sogar flach auf dem Boden/Objekt liegt.
