Highly flammable liquids

Sodium (metal). Used as a fine wire or as chips, for more completely drying ethers, saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons which have been partially dried (for example with calcium chloride or magnesium sulfate). Unsuitable for acids, alcohols, alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, amines and esters. Reacts violently if water is present and can cause a fire with highly flammable liquids. [Pg.28]

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) Petroleum gas stored or proeessed as a liquid in equilibrium with vapour by refrigeration or pressurization. The two LPGs in general use are eommereial propane and eommereial butane supplied to produet speeifieations, e.g. BS 4250. (These, or mixtures thereof, eomprise LPG for the purpose of the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Regulations 1972.)... [Pg.15]

Cover the storage, handling and use of highly flammable liquids, viz. liquids with a flashpoint <32°C and which support combustion when tested m the prescribed ways. Also cover the manner of storage and the marking of storage accommodation for LPG, viz. commercial propane, commercial butane and any mixture of the two. [Pg.595]

Before a permit to weld or carry out other hot work is issued, it is normal practice to make sure there are no leaks of flammable gas or liquid nearby and no abnormal conditions that make a leak likely. The meaning of nearby depends on the nature of the material that might leak, the slope of the ground, and so on. For highly flammable liquids, 15 m is often used. [Pg.27]

This chapter is not concerned with the hazards of obviously dangerous materials, such as highly flammable liquids and gases, or toxic materials. Rather, the focus is on accidents involving those common but dangerous substances air, water, nitrogen, and heavy oils. [Pg.244]

The risk with liquefied petroleum gas in cylinders is significantly greater than with a highly flammable liquid in drums because of the potential for rapid release of heavy flammable gas. In a fire around a cylinder there is a potential BLEVE hazard (see p. 178) igiution of a leak from a valve will cause a jet fire. [Pg.403]
