<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.
a. 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, <br>t<sub>f</sub> is the temperature in degrees celsius of the liquid during filling, and <br>α is the mean coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid between the mean temperature of the liquid during filling (t<sub>f</sub>) and the maximum mean bulk temperature during transportation (t<sub>r</sub>) both in degrees celsius. <br>b. For liquids transported under ambient conditions α may be calculated using the formula:<br><br>Where: <br>d<sub>15</sub> and d<sub>50</sub> are the densities (in units of mass per unit volume) of the liquid at 15 °C (59 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F), respectively.
Stowage category “D” means the material must be stowed “on deck only” on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel carrying a number of passengers limited to not more than the larger of 25 passengers or one passenger per each 3 m of overall vessel length, but the material is prohibited on a passenger vessel in which the limiting number of passengers is exceeded.
Segregation chart for load, transport, and storage
This chart shows whether loading, transport, or storage with other hazard classes is permitted, prohibited, or restricted. Based on 49 CFR §177.848.
Hinweis: In der Kompatibilitätstabelle sind Stoffe der Gefahrenklasse 6.1 nur dann gesondert zu berücksichtigen, wenn der Stoff als inhalativ giftig (Gefahrenzone A) sowie in der Verpackungsgruppe I eingestuft ist. Siehe Sonderbestimmung 1 sowie PHMSA Interpretation #09-0252.
Packages with POISON or POISON INHALATION HAZARD labels, or a POISON label displaying “PG III,” or “PG III” marked next to a POISON label may not be transported with foodstuffs, feed or any other edible material, intended for humans or animals. For exceptions see 49 CFR §177.841(e).
