1、Designation: F3344 19Standard Guide forStorage, Use, and Handling of Liquid Rocket Propellants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3344; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.The scope of this standard is limited to fuels and oxidizers which are not themselves monopropellants. While each propellant has itsown unique haza

3、rds and handling practices, in general, the most important line of defense in storage and ground handling is to ensurethat large quantities of fuels and oxidizer do not come into contact. As a monopropellant, by definition, can release chemical energywithout mixture with another chemical, safety pra

4、ctices for monopropellants must assume the potential for that energy release, whichdiffers from the approach for fuels and oxidizers. This standard provides no guidance for monopropellant storage and handling. Somecommon monopropellants include: Hydrogen Peroxide, Nitromethane, Nitrous Oxide, Ethyle

5、ne Oxide, Hydrazine (including derivativessuch as UDMH or MMH), and any chemical mixture where an oxidizer and a fuel have been premixed, such as various ammoniumnitrate and fuel combinations.1. Scope1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this guide shall be to providefundamental safeguards for the storage, use,

6、 and handling ofliquid rocket propellants to ensure the safety of workersinvolved as well as the public.1.2 GoalThe functional goal of this guide shall be toreduce the explosive hazard of liquid rocket propellants tohazard levels such that the use of quantity-distance criteria isnot essential to ass

7、ure public safety.1.3 ApplicationThe requirements of this guide shall applyto persons directly involved in the storage, use, or handling ofliquid rocket propellants during nominal operations only.1.4 RetroactivityThe provisions of this guide are notretroactive.1.5 UnitsThe values stated in SI units

8、are to be regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and envir

9、onmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 Environmental ConcernsThe scope of this standardencompasses the safety precautions for fuels and oxidizersused in commercial launch vehicles; it does not address thevarious precautions required to minimize

10、 risks of environmen-tal contamination. Environmental regulation for chemical stor-age differs between different states and municipalities, andoperators should consult the regulations of the authority havingjurisdiction over their site for such matters.1.8 This international standard was developed i
