When materials are stabilized by temperature control, the provisions of § 173.21(f) of this subchapter apply. When chemical stabilization is employed, the person offering the material for transport shall ensure that the level of stabilization is sufficient to prevent the material as packaged from dangerous polymerization at 50 °C (122 °F). If chemical stabilization becomes ineffective at lower temperatures within the anticipated duration of transport, temperature control is required in which case transportation is forbidden by aircraft. In making this determination factors to be taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, the capacity and geometry of the packaging and the effect of any insulation present; the temperature of the material when offered for transport; the duration of the journey and the ambient temperature conditions typically encountered in the journey (considering also the season of year); the effectiveness and other properties of the stabilizer employed; applicable operational controls imposed by regulation (<i>e.g.,</i> requirements to protect from sources of heat, including other cargo carried at a temperature above ambient); and any other relevant factors.
<sub>Authorized IBCs:</sub> Metal (31A, 31B and 31N); Rigid plastics (31H1 and 31H2); Composite (31HZ1).<br><sub>Additional Requirement:</sub> Only liquids with a vapor pressure less than or equal to 110 kPa at 50 °C (1.1 bar at 122 °F), or 130 kPa at 55 °C (1.3 bar at 131 °F) are authorized.
The maximum degree of filling must not exceed the degree of filling determined by the following:<br><br>Where: <br>t<sub>r</sub> is the maximum mean bulk temperature during transport, and t<sub>f</sub> is the temperature in degrees celsius of the liquid during filling.
