10、 explosionhazard. The blend also contains argon and tetrafluoromethane.3.1.4 insulatedplaced in an isolated situation to protectand prevent the transfer of damage.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides requirements for the handling,transportation, and storage of HCFC Blend B encountered i
11、ndistribution through both commercial and military channels. Itis intended to ensure that HCFC Blend B is handled, trans-ported, and stored in such a way that its physical propertyvirtues are not degraded. Transport may be by various means,such as, but not limited to, highway, rail, water, and air.5
12、. Practice5.1 To ensure safe handling, loading, unloading, storing,and transporting of material, personnel shall be trained in theCGA publications and Title 49 CFR regulations as listed inSections 2.2 and 2.3, respectively.5.2 Handling:1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 o

15、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 ofHCFC Blend B shall be trained properly to recognize andidentify the characteristics of the product and the propermethods of safely handling full, partially full,
16、and emptycylinders.5.2.2 All HCFC Blend B transfers between storage contain-ers and recycling processes shall be performed by personneltrained in handling procedures.5.2.2.1 HCFC Blend B recycling and transfer processesshall be in conjunction with the equipment specified by themanufacturer.5.2.3 HCF
17、C Blend B handling shall be in nonsmoking,heater-free, ventilated areas to preclude product accumulation.Provisions shall be made to ensure that service areas limitHCFC Blend B concentrations do not exceed 20,000 ppm(2 %) by volume for 1 min and 50 ppm by volume for a timeweighted exposure of 8 h.5.
18、2.4 Cylinders shall not be overfilled. The liquid portion ofthe HCFC Blend B must not completely fill the containersinternal volume at any temperature up to and including 130F(54C). The maximum permitted filling density for HCFCBlend B shall be 86 lb/ft3(1377 kg/m3). Filling density require-ments ar
19、e specified in Title 49 CFR, 173.304 and Title 49 CFR,173.305. Recommended fill density is 76 lb/ft3(1219 kg/m3)orless.5.2.5 Handling of materials should be done in a manner thatprevents contamination or commingling of halocarbons otherthan HCFC Blend B.5.2.6 Cylinders shall be free of dirt and cont

Precautions should be taken toprevent the entry of oil, water, or any other foreign matter intocontainers. Unique coatings or preservatives applied prior toshipment to protect the containers are not
21、considered contami-nation.5.3 Transportation:5.3.1 Transportation shall be as specified in accordance withDOT regulations of Title 49 CFR.5.3.1.1 Shipment of materials between collectors, recyclers,and reclaimers should be within approved DOT guidelines forClass 2, Division 2.2, regulated materials.
22、 Any further provi-sions for special transportation or packaging should be agreedupon between the collectors, recyclers, and reclaimers.5.3.1.2 The minimum design pressure requirements shall beas indicated in Title 49 CFR, Part 173.304. The pressure insidethe container at 70F (21C) shall not exceed
