Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides requirements for the handling,transportation, and storage of HFC-125 encountered in distri-bution through both commercial and military channels. It isintended to insure that HFC-125 is handled,

11、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.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 on Haloge-nated Organic Solvents and Fire Extinguishing Agents and

12、 is the direct responsi-bility of Subcommittee D26.09 on Fire Extinguishing Agents.Current edition approved Jan. 1, 2009. Published February 2009. Originallyapproved in 1998.

Practice5.1 To ensure safe handling, loading, unloading, storing,and transporting of material, personnel shall be trained in theCGA publications and Title 49 CFR regu

15、lations as listed in 2.2and 2.3, respectively.5.2 Handling:5.2.1 Handling shall be in accordance with CGA P-1, SafeHandling of Compressed Gases in Containers.5.2.1.1 Personnel who handle or store, or both, cylinders ofHFC-125 shall be trained properly to recognize and identify thecharacteristics of

16、the product and the proper methods of safelyhandling full, partly full, and empty cylinders.5.2.2 All HFC-125 transfers between storage containers andrecycling processes shall be performed by personnel trained inhandling procedures.5.2.2.1 HFC-23 recycling and transfer processes shall be inconjuncti

17、on with the equipment specified by the manufacturer.5.2.3 HFC-125 handling shall be 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.5.2.4 C

18、ylinders shall not be overfilled. The maximum per-mitted filling density shall be 945 kg/m3(59 lb/ft3). The liquidportion of the liquefied gases must not completely fill thecontainers internal volume at any temperature up to andincluding 54C (130F). Filling density requirement are speci-fied in Titl
