Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 halogenated hydrocarbon, nthe halogenated com-pound coding terminology system provides a convenientmeans to reference halogenated hydrocarbons (see ASRE 34).Halogenated hydrocarbons are saturated hydrocarbons inwhich one o

10、r more of the hydrogen atoms have been replacedby atoms of the halogen series: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, andiodine. It is convention to prefix the number with an abbrevia-tion of the compound:CFC = chlorofluorocarbonHCFC = hydrochlorofluorocarbonHFC = hydrofluorocarbonFC = fluorocarbonR = refrige

11、rant3.1.1.1 DiscussionBy definition, the rightmost digit ofthe numbering system is the number of fluorine atoms. Thesecond digit from the right is the number of hydrogen atomsplus one (+1). The third digit from the right is one less (-1) thannumber of carbon atoms in the compound (when this numberis

12、 zero (0) it is omitted from the number). Unaccounted forvalance requirements are assumed to be chlorine atoms. Whenthe compound contains bromine or iodine, the same rules applyexcept the letter “B” for bromine or “I” for iodine follows theparent compound designated number and the number of theatoms

13、 is placed after the letter.Example: C2HF55 R2125 5 HFC2125 (1)1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 onHalogenated Organic Solvents and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD26.09 on Halogenated Fire Extinguishants.Current edition approved Feb. 10, 1998.
