lotions Title ~9 ~CFR 29}. Where numerical classifications are included, <br />they are en accordance with nationally recognized standards. The specific <br />chemicals cited in this Appendix are intended to serve as examples only, and <br />should not be construed as limiting the scope or application of these regula- <br />tions. <br />NOTE: More than one hazard category may apply to an individual sub- <br />stance. Consu]t both the "physical hazards" and the "health hazards" sections <br />of this Appendix. <br />II. HAZARD CATEGORIES <br />A. Phi al Hazards. <br />Ex losives and Blastin A ents. <br />1. Hi h ex losives. Can be caused to detonate by means of a <br />blasting cap when unconfined. Examples: Dynamite, TNT, nitroglycerine, <br />C-3, C-4. <br />2. Low ex„plosives. Can be caused to deflagrate when confined. <br />Examples: Black powder, smokeless powder, propellant explosives, dis- <br />play fereworks. Generally corresponds with DOT Class B or C. Black <br />powder i s a DOT C1 ass A explosive. <br />3. Blastin a ents. Oxidizer/liquid fuel slurry mixtures. <br />Examples: Ammvne um nitrate-fuel of 1. <br />Compressed Gases, <br />1. Flammable. Examples: Acetylene, carbon moxoxide, ethane, <br />ethylene, hydrogen, methane. Ammonia will ignite and burn although its <br />flammable range is too narrow for it to fit the definition of flammable <br />gas. <br />2. Oxedizin . Examples: Oxygen, ozone, oxides of nitrogen, <br />chlorine and fluorine. Chlorine and fluorine do not contain oxygen <br />but reaction with flammables es similar to that of oxygen}. <br />3. Corrosive. Examples: Ammonia, hydrogen chloride, fluorine. <br />4. Hi hl toxic. Examples: Arsine, fluorine, cyanogen, hydrogen <br />cyanide, nitric oxide, phosphene. <br />5. Toxic. Examples: Chlorine, hydrogen fluorede, hydrogen sul- <br />fide, phosgene, silicon tetrafluoride. <br />fi. Li uefied. Examples: Butane and propane are flammable gases <br />which liquefy at relatevely low pressures. They are known as "lique- <br />fied petroleum gases" LPG} when in liquid form. Gases which liquefy <br />only at temperatures below -150 degree F, regardless of pressure are <br />"cryogenic fluids" when in liquid farm. <br />7. Inert chemicall unreactive . Examples: Argon, helium, <br />krypton, neon, nitrogen, xenon. <br />Ordinance - H5 <br />
