A series of drop tests areconducted at an energy level of 98 J (7
16、2 ftlbf) or as specifiedfor the pass-fail tests.4. Significance and Use4.1 When this test method is used to measure the thresholdimpact sensitivity of a material, a relative sensitivity assess-ment is obtained which permits the ranking of materials.4.2 This test method may also be used for acceptanc
17、e-testing materials for use in liquid oxygen systems. Twentyseparate samples of the material submerged in liquid oxygenare subjected to 98 J (72 ftlbf) or as specified. Impact energydelivered through a 12.7-mm (12-in.) diameter contact. Morethan one indication of sensitivity is cause for immediatere
18、jection. A single explosion, flash, or other indication ofsensitivity during the initial series of 20 tests requires that anadditional 40 samples be tested without incident to ensureacceptability of the material.4.3 The threshold values are determined by this test methodat ambient pressure. The sens
19、itivity of materials to mechanicalimpact is known to increase with increasing pressure. Sincemost liquid oxygen systems operate at pressures above ambientcondition, some consideration should be given to increasedsensitivity and reactivity of materials at higher pressure whenselecting materials for u
20、se in pressurized system.5. Apparatus5.1 ABMA-Type Impact Tester9(Fig. 1 , See ADJD2512),for determining the sensitivity of materials to liquid oxygenwith impact energy.

Safety Precautions7.1 The hazards involved with liquid oxygen are veryserious. Contact with the skin can cause frostbites resemblingburns. Contact with hydrocarbons
43、or other fuels causes anexplosion hazard, as such mixtures are usually shock, impact,and vibration-sensitive.7.2 The first-aid procedure for liquid oxygen contact is toflush the affected area with water. This treatment should befollowed by medical attention. A safety shower must beavailable in the i
44、mmediate area.7.3 The following safety rules must be observed: personnelworking with liquid oxygen must be familiar with its natureand characteristics. Approved goggles or face shields, protec-tive clothing, gloves, and boots must be worn during handlingor transfer. Such operations shall be performe
45、d by not less thantwo persons as a group. Extreme caution shall be exercised inpreventing contact with oils or other combustible materials.Alltools must be degreased before use. Precautions shall be takento prevent accumulation of moisture in lines, valves, traps, andso forth to avert freezing and p
46、lugging with subsequentpressure ruptures. Care shall also be taken to prevent entrap-ment of liquid oxygen in unvented sections of any system.7.4 Safety shower and other protective equipment shall beinspected periodically and before each handling of liquidoxygen. Personnel leaving the working or sto
47、rage area shalltake steps to make sure that no oxygen remains absorbed inclothing before smoking or approaching any source of ignition.7.5 The threshold limit value, that is, the time-weighedaverage concentration of trichloroethylene believed safe forcontinuous exposure during a normal 8-h workday,
48、has beenestablished by the American Conference of GovernmentalIndustrial Hygienists at 100 ppm. Operations using trichloro-ethylene should always be conducted in a well-ventilated area.The comparable figure for trichlorotrifluorethane is 1000 ppm,and normal ventilation is usually adequate. When a ve
49、ntilationsystem is used, an effort should be made to have the natural aircurrents in the vicinity assist rather than oppose the mechanicalventilation. For cleaning by vapor degreasing, the vapor levelshall be controlled by heat input and cooling coils, whichNOTE 1Break sharp edges 0.015.NOTE 2The cup is formed by deep drawing.NOTE 3The thickness and parallelness of the cup bottom shall be controllled to 0.0610 to 0.0630 by coining.NOTE 4Materal: aluminum alloy QQ-A-318 (5052) temper H32.All dimensions in inches.FIG. 5 One-Piece Specimen CupD 2512 9
