Material Requirements4.1 Type IMixtures of HFC-236fa and Nitrogen:4.1.1 The nitrogen (N2) partial pressure shall be such thatthe safe working pressure of the receiving vessel is notexceeded. To preven

15、t excessive pressure, the fill density of theHFC-236fa/nitrogen within the container should not exceedthat needed to achieve complete filling of the container at themaximum expected storage temperature. For example, the U.S.DOT 4BA500 cylinder partial pressure shall not exceed 24.4bar at 21C (340 ps

16、ig at 70F) for a 1153kg/m3(72 lb/ft3) filldensity. For this example, the safe working pressure of the4BA500 cylinder is not exceeded for temperatures below 54C(130F).4.1.2 HFC-236fa shall conform to the requirements pre-scribed in Table 1 when tested by the appropriate test meth-od(s) listed in 6.4.

17、1.3 When material analysis is required, by agreementbetween the purchaser and the supplier, the total pressure in theHFC-236fa container, partial pressure of the nitrogen, the filldensity of the HFC-236fa within the container, and the maxi-mum safe storage temperature shall be part of the materialan

18、alysis (certification). The pressure shall be reported in bar(preferred) or pound-force per square inch gage (psig). The filldensity shall be reported in kilograms per cubic metre at 21C(preferred) or pounds per cubic foot at 70F. The maximumsafe storage temperature of the HFC-236fa shall be reporte

19、d indegrees Celsius (preferred) or in degrees Fahrenheit and shallconform to the applicable regulations for the HFC-236facontainer design and use.4.2 Type IIHFC-236fa shall conform to the requirementsof Type I, as listed in 4.1.1, and shall contain no more than 1.5% by volume fixed gases in the vapo

20、r phase, expressed as airwhen tested by the appropriate test method(s) listed in Section6.4.3 By agreement between the purchaser and the supplier,analysis may be required and limits established for elements orcompounds not specified in Table 1.(WarningExposure toconcentrations of HFC-236fa in excess

21、 of 15 % by volume inair during periods of elevated adrenaline could produce cardiacarrhythmia in some personnel.)4.4 Unless otherwise specified, Type I is assumed.5. Sampling5.1 Samples of HFC-236fa taken from the liquid phase,shall be taken from filled containers in accordance with themethod speci

22、fied in ISO 3427. The sampling bottle shall becapable of safely resisting the vapor pressure of the sample atthe highest temperature that could be encountered.5.2 The HFC-236fa selected in accordance with 5.1 shall betested for quality conformance in accordance with Section 6.The presence of one or

23、more defects shall be cause forrejection.6.
