2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for Halon1211 as a fire-fighting medium.1.2 This specification does not addre
3、ss the fire-fightingequipment or hardware that employs Halon 1211 or theconditions of employing such equipment (for example,handhelds, fixed installations, etc.).1.3 This specification does not address the storage ortransportation of Halon 1211. Storage, handling, and transpor-tation issues may be a
4、ddressed in future ASTM standards.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems
5、may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 6, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
6、of this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given inSection 4.2.

United States13.1.2 non-condensable gasesnon-condensable gases con-sist primarily of air (nitrogen, oxygen) accumulated in thevapor phase of a liquefied compressed gas where the solubilityof air in the liquid phase is extrem
17、ely low and air is notsignificant as a liquid phase contaminant. Non-condensablegases are in some instances termed non-absorbable gases.4. Material Requirements4.1 Type IMixtures of Halon 1211 and Nitrogen:4.1.1 The nitrogen (N2) partial pressure shall be such thatthe safe working pressure of the re
18、ceiving vessel is notexceeded. To prevent excessive pressure, the fill density ofHalon 1211 within a container should not exceed that needed toachieve complete filling of the container at the maximumenvisaged storage temperature. For example, for a U.S. DOT4W260 cylinder, the nitrogen partial pressu
19、re shall not exceed129 psig at 70F 9.9 bar at 21C for a 100 lb/ft31602 kg/m3fill density, which yields a total pressure of 150 psig at 70F11.4 bar at 21C. For this example, the safe working pressureof the 4BW260 cylinder is not exceeded for temperaturesbelow 131F 55C. (See Practice D7815.) (See Figs
20、. 1 and 2.)4.1.2 Halon 1211 shall conform to the requirements pre-scribed in Table 1 when tested by the appropriate test meth-od(s) listed in Section 6.4.1.3 When a material analysis is required, by agreementbetween the purchaser and the supplier, the total pressure in theHalon 1211 container, parti
21、al pressure of the N2, the fill densityof the Halon 1211 within the container, and the maximum safestorage temperature shall be part of the material analysis(certification). The pressure shall be reported in pound-forceper square inch gauge (preferred) or bar. The fill density shallbe reported in po
22、unds per cubic foot at 70F (preferred) orkilograms per cubic metre at 21C. The maximum safe storagetemperature of the Halon 1211 container shall be reported indegrees Fahrenheit (preferred) or in degrees Celsius and shallconform to applicable regulations for the Halon 1211 containerdesign and use.4.
23、2 Type IIHalon 1211 shall conform to the requirementsof Type I, as listed in 4.1, and shall contain no more than 1.5 %by volume non-condensable gases in the vapor phase, ex-pressed as air when tested by the appropriate test method(s)listed in Section 6.4.3 By agreement between the purchaser and the
24、supplier,analysis may be required and limits established for elements orcompounds not specified in Table 1.4.4 Unless otherwise specified, Type I is assumed.4.5 (WarningExposure to concentrations of Halon 1211in excess of 1.0 % by volume in air during periods of elevatedadrenaline could produce card
25、iac arrhythmia in some person-nel.)5. Sampling5.1 Samples of Halon 1211 shall be taken from the liquid orvapor phase as appropriate. Samples of Halon 1211, taken fromthe liquid phase, shall be taken from filled containers inaccordance with the method specified in ISO 3427 or themethod specified in 2
26、008 Appendix C for Analytical Proce-dures for AHRI Standard 700-2012, Part 7.5.1.1 The sampling vessel shall be capable of safely resist-ing the vapor pressure of the sample at the highest temperaturethat could be encountered during handling, storage, or trans-port.
