Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides requirements for the handling,transportation, and storage of HFC-125 encountered i

9、n distri-bution through both commercial and military channels. It isintended to insure that HFC-125 is handled, transported, andstored in such a way its physical properties are not degraded.Transport may be by various means, such as, but not limited to,highway, rail, water, and air.5.

11、 to recognize and identify thecharacteristics of the product and the proper methods of safelyhandling full, partly full, and empty cylinders.5.2.3 Facility personnel must be trained in applicable Title49 CFR, Parts 173 and 178, and the CGA documents refer-enced in 2.2.5.2.4 HFC-125 handling shall be

12、 in nonsmoking, heater-free, ventilated areas to preclude product accumulation. Provi-sions shall be made to ensure that service areas limit HFC-125concentrations to not exceed 10 % for 1 min and 0.1 % for 8 h.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 on Haloge-nated Organic Sol
