Division 4.1: Flammable Solid . Flammable solids are any of the following four types of materials: Desensitized Explosives: explosives that, when dry, are Explosives of Class 1 other than those of compatibility group A, which are wetted with sufficient water, alcohol, or plasticizer to suppress explosive properties; and are specifically authorized by name either in the 49CFR 172.101 Table or ...
4.1 Flammable Solids: Solid substances that are easily ignited and readily combustible (nitrocellulose, magnesium, safety or strike-anywhere matches). Hazardous Materials Class 4.2 : Spontaneously Combustible Solids
Solid Any material which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal to the mean burning time of a 3:7 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I and II are not met. Group I 5.1: Liquid Any material which spontaneously ignites when mixed with cellulose in a 1:1 ratio; or
2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases which ignite on contact with an ignition source, such as acetylene, hydrogen, and propane. 2.2 Non-Flammable Gases : Gases which are neither flammable nor poisonous. Includes the cryogenic gases/liquids (temperatures of below -100 °C) used for cryopreservation and rocket fuels, such as nitrogen , neon , and carbon ...
Extremely flammable gas H221: Flammable gas H222: Extremely flammable material H223: Flammable material H224: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapour H226: Flammable liquid and vapour H227: Combustible liquid H228: Flammable solid H229: Pressurized container: may burst if heated H230
Flammable gases – Gases which at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa: are ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air; or; have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limit. Alternative sign. Division 2.1 Non-flammable non-toxic gases – Gases which:
Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases are categorized from 1 to 3 based on the ignitability of the gas emitted. Oxidizing liquids contribute to the combustion of other materials and are categorized from 1 to 3 in decreasing oxidizing potential. Oxidizing solids follow the same criteria as oxidizing liquids.
A video on safety precautions at blast sites. The largest commercial application of explosives is mining. Whether the mine is on the surface or is buried underground, the detonation or deflagration of either a high or low explosive in a confined space can be used to liberate a fairly specific sub-volume of a brittle material (rock) in a much ...
