The Material Science Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of the structure and properties of metals. The handbook includes information on the structure and properties of metals, stress mechanisms in metals, failure modes, and the characteristics of metals that are commonly used in DOE nuclear facilities. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the properties of facility materials and the way these properties can impose limitations on the operation of equipment and systems. 

SODIUM HYDROXIDE (CAUSTIC SODA) Physical Properties Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, mol wt 39.998, is a brittle, white, translucent crystalline solid. Because of its corrosive action on all human body tissue, it is also known as caustic soda. Physical properties of the pure material are noted in Table 20. Sodium hydroxide is produced and shipped in the anhydrous state in the form of solid cakes, flakes, or beads, but is used in solution (4). Properties of aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions relevant to industrial operations are available from manufacturers and in handbooks (79). Table 21 lists the significant uses. Table 20. Physical Constants of Pure Sodium Hydroxide ... 

Example 1—Dry 100 lbs. ofwetcake with an/ /fto/ volatiles content ofl5%(wetbasis) dovmXodiflnalvolatilescontent of less than 1 %. This will be achieved in a batch operation for lot identification, GMP and high quality standards. The loose bulk density of the wet cake is 45 lbs../ft. and the loose bulk density of the diy powder is 12 Ibs./ft. The temperature limit of the product is 145°F and the feed material is wet with ethanol. The product is a pharmaceutical which will be a finished product. The solvent is to be recovered for reuse, and its physical properties can be found in a handbook of hydrocarbons. The product is freeflowing in the dry state, but very tacky and pasty in the wet state.
