Tables 16 and 17 Hst tke analytical test methods for different properties of interest. The Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc. (MCA) has pubUshed the Chemical Safety Data Sheet SD 63, which describes in detail procedures for safe handling of use of toluene (46). The Interstate Commerce Commission classifies toluene as a flammable Hquid. Accordingly, it must be packaged in authorized containers, and shipping must comply with ICC regulations. Properties related to safe handling are autoignition temperature, 536°C explosive limits, 1.27—7.0 vol % in air and flash point 4.4°C, closed cup.

Flash Point (flash p). This is the lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough flammable vapor at or near its surface such that in intimate mixture with air and a spark or flame it ignites. The flash point of liquids is usually determined by the Standard Method of Test for Flash Point with the Tag Closed Cup Tester (ASTM D56-52, available from the American Society for Testing Materials, 1916 Race St, Philadelphia, Pa). This method is also the standard of the American Standards Association (ASA Z 11.24-1952, available from the American Standards Association, 70 East 45th St, New York, NY). The Interstate Commerce Commission uses the Tag Open Cup (TOC) Tester giving results 5—10°F higher (less flammable). Other methods frequently used are...

The three propellants listed in Table I have been tested in the cured state and classed propellant explosive (solid) Class B by the Interstate Commerce Commission (6). The aluminized formulation, Arcite 373D, gave the same test results when uncured. In addition, Arcite 373D and Arcite 386, both cured and uncured, tested zero cards in the standard Naval Ordanance Laboratory card-gap test (I, 2).
