2-Chloropropylene is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH2=C(Cl)CH3. It is a colorless gas that condenses just below room temperature. Unlike the closely related vinyl chloride, which is a major industrial chemical, 2-chloropropene has no commercial applications and is a lightly studied compound. In the research laboratory, it is used as a source of the 2-propenyl group Wikipedia

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 “E” means the material may be stowed “on deck” or “under deck” 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 is prohibited from carriage on a passenger vessel in which the limiting number of passengers is exceeded.
