Provisionsshall

16、be made to ensure that service areas limit IG-55 concen-trations to not exceed 52 % (10 % Sea Level Oxygenequivalency) for 30 s and 7 % (19.5 % Sea Level OxygenEquivalency) for 8 h.5.2.4 Cylinders may be charged to a pressure 10 % in excessof their marked service pressure provided the requirementssp

17、ecified in CFR Title 49, 173.302 are met.5.2.5 Cylinders shall be free of dirt and contamination thatwould contribute to or would cause deterioration of productduring shipment or storage. Precautions should be taken toprevent the entry of oil, water, or any other foreign matter intocontainers. Uniqu

19、R Title 49, Part 173.301. The pressure insidethe container at 70F (21C) shall not exceed the servicepressure for which the container is marked. The pressure insidethe container at 130F (54C) shall not exceed 5/4 times theservice pressure for which the container is marked. Figs. 1 and2 illustrate the

20、 effect of temperature on cylinders filled withIG-55.5.3.2 Transportation shall be by suitable vehicles to pre-clude cylinder damage by excessive mechanical vibration,shock, freezing, or deleterious high temperatures throughoutthe entire transport route.5.3.2.1 If cylinders are expected to be subjec
