Hazardous Materials Regulations: Minor Editorial Corrections and
Clarifications
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor
regulatory changes and, in response to requests for clarification,
improves the clarity of certain provisions in the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR). The intended effect of this rule is to enhance the
accuracy and reduce misunderstandings of the regulations. The
amendments contained in this rule are non-substantive changes that do
not impose new requirements.
DATES: Effective date: October 1, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dirk Der Kinderen, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, PHMSA, East Building, PHH-10, 1200
New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
PHMSA annually reviews the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49
CFR parts 171-180) to identify typographical and other errors, outdated
addresses or other contact information, and similar errors. In this
final rule, we are correcting typographical errors; incorrect CFR
references and citations; inaccurate office names; inconsistent use of
terminology; misstatements of certain regulatory requirements; and
inadvertent omissions of information. In addition, this final rule
revises the address for PHMSA to indicate the new location for the
headquarters office.
Because these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and
public comment procedures are unnecessary. By making these amendments
effective without the customary 30-day delay following publication, the
changes will appear in the next revision of Title 49.
The following is a summary by section of the major changes made in
this final rule. The summary does not include minor editorial
corrections such as punctuation errors, or similar minor revisions.
II. Section-by-Section Review
Part 107
Section 107.608
This section contains general requirements for registration. In
paragraph (a), we are removing the reference to Sec. 107.616(d) for
consistency with revisions made in HM-208F (72 FR 24536; May 3, 2007).
The HM-208F final rule removed paragraph (d) of Sec. 107.616.
Part 171
Section 171.6
This section lists approved collections of information required
under the HMR. In the table in paragraph (b)(2), in the third column
for OMB control number 2137-0557, we are removing the reference
citations to Sec. Sec. 178.270-3 and 178.270-13. Section 178.270-3 was
removed in an earlier rulemaking, and we are removing Sec. 178.270-13,
which addresses testing requirements for IM 101 and 102 specification
portable tanks in this final rule. As prescribed in Sec. 173.32(c)(2),
the manufacture of these portable tanks is no longer authorized.
Section 171.7
This section lists material incorporated by reference into the HMR.
In paragraph (a)(3), in the second column of the table of material
incorporated by reference, for the entry ASME Code, Sections II (Parts
A and B), V, VIII (Division 1), and IX, we are removing the reference
citations, Sec. Sec. 178.270-2 through 178.272-1, which contain
requirements applicable to the manufacture of IM 101 and 102 portable
tanks, because the manufacture of these portable tanks is no longer
authorized. Additionally, we are updating a reference citation for the
use of the UN Recommendations.
Section 171.8
This section lists definitions for terms used in the HMR. In the
definition for ``Administrator,'' we are correcting the office name
``Research and Special Programs Administration'' to read ``Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.'' In the
[[Page 55679]]
definition for ``Shipping paper,'' we are removing the references to
``Sec. Sec. 172.202, 172.203 and 172.204'' to clarify that shipping
papers must be prepared in accordance with the requirements in subpart
C of part 172.
Section 171.14
This section provides transitional provisions for recently adopted
regulatory changes. In paragraph (d)(6), we are correcting the citation
``172.202(a)(6)'' to read ``172.202(a)(7)'' for consistency with
revisions made to Sec. 173.202(a) in a final rule published under
docket number HM-215I (71 FR 78596; December 29, 2006).
Section 171.15
This section contains telephonic notification requirements for
certain hazardous materials transportation incidents. In paragraph
(b)(3), we are correcting the telephone report requirements for
infectious substances by removing the term ``diagnostic specimen''
since that term no longer appears in the HMR.
Section 171.23
This section contains requirements for specific materials and
packages transported under the international standards. In paragraph
(b)(5), we are correcting requirements by removing an inaccurate
exception for Class 7 (radioactive) materials included in a final rule
published under docket number HM-215F (72 FR 25162; May 3, 2007).
Part 172
Section 172.101--The Hazardous Materials Table (HMT)
We are removing the entries ``Helium-oxygen mixture, see Rare gases
and oxygen mixtures,'' ``Nitrogen, mixtures with rare gases, see Rare
gases and nitrogen mixtures,'' and ``Oxygen, mixtures with rare gases,
see Rare gases and oxygen mixtures.'' These entries are being removed
for consistency with revisions made in the final rule published under
docket number HM-215I.
We are correcting entries in the HMT as follows:
For the entries ``Ammonia, anhydrous,'' Division 2.3,
UN1005, ``Ammonia solution, relative density less than 0.880 at 15
degrees C in water, with more than 50 percent ammonia,'' Division 2.3,
UN3318, and ``Ammonia solutions, relative density less than 0.880 at 15
degrees C in water, with more than 35 percent but not more than 50
percent ammonia,'' UN2073, we are correcting Column (7) by adding
``N87.'' Special provision ``N87'' was inadvertently omitted. This
correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
For the entry ``Articles, explosive, n.o.s.,'' UN0353, in
Column (6), we are correcting the label code ``1.4GD'' to read
``1.4G.''
For the entry ``Articles, explosive, n.o.s.,'' UN0467I, in
Column (4), we are correcting the identification number to read
``UN0467'' and in Column (5), we are correcting the packing group to
read ``II.'' This correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this
rulemaking.
For the entry ``Caesium hydroxide solution,'' UN2681, PG
III, in Column (8B), we are correcting the section reference to read
``203.''
For the entry ``Contrivances, water-activated, with
burster, expelling charge or propelling charge,'' UN0248, we are
correcting Column (1) by adding ``G.'' Symbol ``G'' was inadvertently
omitted.
For the entry ``Contrivances, water-activated, with
burster, expelling charge or propelling charge,'' UN0249, we are
correcting Column (1) by adding ``G.'' Symbol ``G'' was inadvertently
omitted.
For the entry ``Hydrazine, aqueous solution, with more
than 37% hydrazine, by mass,'' UN2030, PG III, in Column (8A), we are
correcting the section reference to read ``154.''
For the entry ``Hydrogendifluorides, solid, n.o.s.,''
UN1740, PG II and III, the proper shipping name is corrected to the
singular form to read ``Hydrogendifluoride, solid, n.o.s.'' This
correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
For the entry ``Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solutions with
more than 40 percent but not more than 60 percent hydrogen peroxide
(stabilized as necessary,) '' UN2014, we are correcting Column (7) by
adding ``A60.'' Special provision ``A60'' was inadvertently omitted.
For the entry ``Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solutions with
not less than 8 percent but less than 20 percent hydrogen peroxide
(stabilized as necessary,) '' UN2984, in Column (8C), we are correcting
the section reference to read ``241.''
For the entry ``Nitrocellulose, with not more than 12.6
percent nitrogen, by dry mass, or Nitrocellulose mixture with pigment
or Nitrocellulose mixture with plasticizer or Nitrocellulose mixture
with pigment and plasticizer,'' UN2557, we are revising the proper
shipping name in column (2) to read ``Nitrocellulose, with not more
than 12.6 percent, by dry mass mixture with or without plasticizer,
with or without pigment.'' This revision is being made for consistency
with the description for UN2557 in the UN Recommendations, and appears
as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
For the entry ``4-Nitrophenylhydrazine, with not less than
30% water, by mass,'' UN3376, in Column (7) we are correcting Special
provision ``164'' to read ``162.'' Special provision ``164'' was
inadvertently assigned in place of ``162.'' This correction appears as
a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
For the entry ``Organoarsenic compound, liquid, n.o.s.,''
UN3280, PG I, II, and III, the information in the columns associated
with PG I is corrected by aligning the hazardous material information
with the appropriate columns. This correction appears as a ``Remove/
Add'' in this rulemaking.
For the entry ``Paint or Paint related materials,''
UN3066, PG II and III, the proper shipping name is corrected to the
singular form to read ``Paint or Paint related material.'' This
correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
Section 172.202
Section 172.202 contains requirements for shipping descriptions on
shipping papers. In paragraph (a)(6)(vi), we are correcting the wording
``except for UN2800, UN3072, and UN3166'' to read ``except for UN2800,
UN2807, UN3072, UN3166 and UN3171'' for consistency with the preamble
discussion to Sec. 172.202(a) in the final rule published under docket
number HM-215I.
Section 172.302
This section establishes general marking requirements for bulk
packaging. In paragraph (f), we are revising the last sentence to
clarify the example illustrating a circumstance for which a bulk
packaging need not be remarked to conform to revisions made in the
shipping name of the material it contains.
Section 172.303
This section addresses prohibited marking. In paragraph (a), we are
adding the clarifying language ``or any other markings indicating that
the material is hazardous (e.g., RQ, INHALATION HAZARD)'' for
consistency with the language used elsewhere in the HMR.
Section 172.505
This section sets forth requirements for placarding for subsidiary
hazards. In paragraph (a), we are correcting the reference ``Sec.
172.203(m)(2)'' to read ``Sec. 172.203(m).'' Paragraphs (m)(1) and
(m)(2) were combined into a single paragraph (m) in a final rule
published
[[Page 55680]]
under docket number HM-189Y (70 FR 56804; September 23, 2005).
Part 173
Section 173.6
This section establishes exceptions from certain HMR requirements
for materials of trade. In paragraph (a)(4), we are correcting the word
``movement'' to read ``shifting'' for consistency with the language
used in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3).
Section 173.22
This section sets forth general shipper responsibilities. In
paragraph (c)(2), we are removing the acronym ``PHMSA'' following the
wording ``Associate Administrator,'' because it is unnecessary. Section
171.8 defines the term ``Associate Administrator'' to mean the
Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
Section 173.31
This section establishes requirements for the use of railroad tank
cars. Paragraph (g) of this section addresses tank car loading and
unloading requirements. In paragraph (g)(1), we are revising the
wording ``unloader'' to read ``each hazmat employee who is responsible
for loading or unloading'' to clarify that the requirements of this
section apply to both loading and unloading operations. In addition, we
are correcting the wording ``blocked'' to read ``locked.'' In paragraph
(g)(2), we are revising the language regarding the design and display
of caution signs for consistency with the language used in Sec.
174.67(a)(4).
Section 173.132
This section contains classification criteria for Division 6.1
materials. In the HM-215I final rule, we revised the toxicity criteria
for Division 6.1 materials in Sec. 173.133 to be consistent with the
toxicity criteria adopted in the United Nations Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations). However, the
Division 6.1 definition in Sec. 173.132(a) was overlooked. Therefore,
in paragraph (a), we are revising the definition of oral toxicity and
inhalation toxicity to be consistent with our earlier amendments to
Sec. 173.133. Also, in paragraph (a)(1)(iii)(B), we are correcting the
measurement unit ``mL/mm\3\ '' to read ``mL/m\3\.''
Section 173.134
This section contains classification criteria and establishes
exceptions from certain HMR requirements for Division 6.2 materials. In
paragraph (a)(8), we are correcting the wording ``diagnostic specimen''
to read ``patient specimen'' for consistency with changes made in a
final rule published under docket number HM-226A (71 FR 32244; July 6,
2006).
Sections 173.150, 173.151, 173.152, and 173.154
These sections establish exceptions from certain HMR requirements
for Class 3, Class 4, Division 5.1, Division 5.2, and Class 8
materials. We are revising the limited quantity provisions in each of
these sections to clarify that the labeling exception is not granted to
materials with a Division 6.1 subsidiary hazard. The amendments
disallowing the labeling exception for limited quantities of Division
6.1 materials were included in a final rule under docket number HM-215G
(69 FR 76044; December 20, 2004), but were inadvertently omitted when
these provisions were revised under HM-228 (71 FR 14586; March 22,
2006).
Additionally, in Sec. 173.150(d)(2) pertaining to the carriage of
alcoholic beverages as checked or carry-on baggage, we are correcting
the reference ``175.10(a)(17)'' to read ``Sec. 175.10(a)(4).''
Section 173.199
This section establishes packaging requirements for Category B
infectious substances. In paragraph (a) introductory text, we are
correcting an obsolete section reference.
Section 173.225
This section sets forth packaging requirements for organic
peroxides. In paragraph (c), we are removing ``>='' from Note 17 of the
Organic Peroxide Table and adding ``< ='' to correct a typographical
error.
Section 173.244
This section sets forth bulk packaging requirements for certain
Division 4.2, 4.3, and 6.1 materials. We are adding a sentence to the
end of paragraph (c) to clarify DOT 51 and UN portable tanks used to
transport Division 6.1 liquids, Hazard Zone A or B, must be certified
and stamped to the ASME Code as prescribed in Sec. 178.273(b)(6).
Section 173.411
This section establishes requirements for industrial packaging used
to transport Class 7 materials. In paragraph (b)(5), we are removing
the section citations to Sec. Sec. 178.270, 178.271, and 178.272
because the manufacture of portable tanks to the IM 101 and 102
specifications is no longer authorized.
Part 174
Section 174.67
Section 174.67 prescribes procedures for conducting transloading
operations involving railroad tank cars. In paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3),
and (a)(4), we are revising the wording ``the unloader'' to read ``each
hazmat employee who is responsible for unloading'' for clarity. Also,
in a final rule published under docket number HM-223 (68 FR 61941;
October 30, 2003), we redesignated paragraph (a)(4) containing
precautions when venting a tank car as paragraph (a)(6) but failed to
include the newly redesignated paragraph in the regulatory text.
Paragraph (a)(6) is added in this final rule.
Part 175
Section 175.8
This section contains exceptions from certain HMR requirements for
operator equipment and replacement items transported by aircraft. In
paragraph (a)(3)(ii), we are correcting the reference ``Sec.
175.75(a)'' to read ``Sec. 175.75(c)''.
Section 175.75
This section establishes cargo limitation and stowage requirements
for hazardous materials transported by aircraft. At the end of
paragraph (e)(3), we are removing the word ``and'' and adding a period.
The requirements in paragraphs (e)(3) and (e)(4) are stand-alone
requirements. Paragraph (e)(3), which outlines conditions for hazardous
materials transported on board a cargo aircraft, includes a requirement
for written approval by FAA. Paragraph (e)(4), which outlines
conditions for hazardous materials transported on board a small, single
pilot, cargo aircraft, does not include a requirement for FAA approval.
Also, in paragraph (e)(5), we are revising the ``Quantity and
Loading Tables'' to correct the formatting errors.
Part 176
Section 176.83
We are reprinting the ``Segregation of Cargo Transport Units on
Board Hatchless Container Ships'' table in Sec. 176.83(l) to correct
formatting errors.
Part 178
Sections 178.270-12, 178.270-13, and 178.270-14
These sections establish requirements for IM 101 and 102 portable
tanks. Most sections applicable to these portable tanks were removed
from the HMR in a final rule under docket number HM-189Z (71 FR 54388;
September 14, 2006) because the manufacture of IM portable
[[Page 55681]]
tanks is no longer authorized. These sections were inadvertently not
omitted from that final rule.
Section 178.273
This section sets forth requirements for approval of specification
IM portable tanks and UN portable tanks. We are revising the section
title and paragraph (e)(1) to remove references to the IM portable
tanks because manufacture of those tanks is no longer authorized. Also,
in paragraph (b)(7)(ii), we are removing the wording ``Sec. 178.270-14
of this subchapter for IM portable tanks, Sec. 178.245-6 for
Specification 51 steel portable tanks, or''.
Section 178.274
This section contains specifications for UN portable tanks. We are
revising paragraph (b)(1) to clarify that portable tanks used for Zone
A or B toxic by inhalation liquids are required to have an ASME
certification and U stamp as prescribed in Sec. 178.273(b)(6).
Section 178.348-4
This section specifies pressure relief requirements for DOT 412
cargo tanks. In paragraph (d)(3), we are removing a reference to a
formula in obsolete Sec. 178.270-11(d)(3) and inserting the formula,
expressed in nonmetric units, that had been contained in the referenced
section. Section 178.270-11 was removed in a final rule under docket
number HM-189Z.
Section 178.606
This section establishes requirements for performing the stacking
test to ensure that non-bulk packagings conform to the performance
standard established in the HMR. In paragraph (c)(2)(ii), in the
stacking test requirements for a packaging intended for solids, we are
correcting the formula to include a constant of 2.2 (lbs/kg) to convert
the units on the right side of the formula to pounds for consistency
with the units of variable ``A'' in the formula. In addition, we are
including explanations of the multipliers ``2.2'' and ``.98'' in the
formula for liquids.
Part 179
Section 179.300-19
This section addresses inspection requirements for newly
constructed rail tank cars. In paragraph (a), we are revising the
wording ``acceptable to the Bureau of Explosives'' to read ``as
approved by the Associate Administrator for Safety, FRA.'' These
approvals are no longer handled by the Bureau of Explosives.
Part 180
Section 180.209
This section establishes requalification requirements for
cylinders. In the table in paragraph (i)(1), we are correcting ``3 to
20 years'' to read ``5 to 20 years'' for the initial porous filler
requalification of acetylene cylinders manufactured on or after January
1, 1991. The change from 3 years to 5 years, adopted in a final rule
published under docket number HM 218B, is correctly stated in footnote
2 following the table.
Section 180.212
This section specifies requirements for repair of seamless DOT
specification and UN cylinders. In paragraph (b)(2), we are revising
the wording to clarify that rethreading of cylinders may be performed
by a manufacturer of the type of cylinder being rethreaded instead of
limiting the work to the original manufacturer, who may no longer be in
business. This revised wording is consistent with the wording used in
paragraph (b)(1).
Section 180.215
This section establishes reporting and record-retention
requirements related to the qualification, maintenance, and use of
cylinders. We are correcting paragraph (b) by adding the words ``, if
present'' after ``manufacturer's name or symbol'' to alleviate
confusion by cylinder requalifiers.
III. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is not
significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the
Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). This final rule does not
impose new or revised requirements for hazardous materials shippers or
carriers; therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory impact
analysis.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This final rule
does not adopt any regulation that: (1) Has substantial direct effects
on the States, the relationship between the national government and the
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government; or (2) imposes substantial direct
compliance costs on State and local governments. PHMSA is not aware of
any State, local or Indian tribe requirements that would be preempted
by correcting editorial errors and making minor regulatory changes.
This final rule does not have sufficient federalism impacts to warrant
the preparation of a federalism assessment.
C. Executive Order 13175
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule
does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and does not preempt
tribal law, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive
Order 13175 do not apply, and a tribal summary impact statement is not
required.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13272, and DOT
Procedures and Policies
I certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule makes minor
editorial changes which will not impose any new requirements on persons
subject to the HMR; thus, there are no direct or indirect adverse
economic impacts for small units of government, businesses or other
organizations.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $120.7
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objective of the rule.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
There are no new information collection requirements in this final
rule.
G. Environmental Impact Analysis
There are no environmental impacts associated with this final rule.
H. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)
A regulation identifier number (RIN) is assigned to each regulatory
action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. The
Regulatory Information Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in
April and October of each year. The RIN number contained in the
[[Page 55682]]
heading of this document can be used to cross-reference this action
with the Unified Agenda.

Sec. 174.67 Tank car unloading.
* * * * *
(a) * * *
(2) Each hazmat employee who is responsible for unloading must
apply the handbrake and block at least one wheel to prevent movement in
any direction. If multiple tank cars are coupled together, sufficient
hand brakes must be set and wheels blocked to prevent movement in both
directions.
(3) Each hazmat employee who is responsible for unloading must
secure access to the track to prevent entry by other rail equipment,
including motorized service vehicles. This requirement may be satisfied
by lining each switch providing access to the unloading area against
movement and securing each switch with an effective locking device, or
by using derails, portable bumper blocks, or other equipment that
provides and equivalent level of safety.
(4) Each hazmat employee who is responsible for unloading must
display caution signs on the track or on the tank cars to warn persons
approaching the cars from the open end of the track and must be left up
until after all closures are secured and the cars are in proper
condition for transportation. The caution signs must be of metal or
other durable material, rectangular, at 30.48 cm (12 inches) high by
38.10 cm (15 inches) wide, and bear the word ``STOP.'' The word
``STOP'' must appear in letters at least 10.16 cm (4 inches) high. The
letters must be white on a blue background. Additional words, such as
``Tank Car Connected'' or ``Crew at Work,'' may also appear in white
letters under the word ``STOP.''
* * * * *
(6) Before a manhole cover or outlet valve cap is removed form a
tank car, the car must be relieved of all interior pressure by cooling
the tank with water or by venting the tank by raising the safety valve
or opening the dome vent at short intervals. However, if venting to
relieve pressure will cause a dangerous amount of vapor to collect
outside the car, venting and unloading must be deferred until the
pressure is reduced by allowing the car to stand overnight or otherwise
cooling the contents. These precautions are not necessary when the car
is equipped with a manhole cover which hinges inward or with an inner
manhole cover which does not have to be removed to unload the car, and
when pressure is relieved by piping vapor into a condenser or storage
tank.

(3) Cargo tanks used in dedicated service for materials classed as
corrosive material, with no secondary hazard, may have a total venting
capacity which is less than required by Sec. 178.345-10(e). The
minimum total venting capacity for these cargo tanks must be determined
in accordance with the following formula (use of approximate values
given for the formula is acceptable):
Formula in Nonmetric Units
Q = 37,980,000 A0.82 (ZT)0.5 /
(LC)(M0.5)
Where:
Q = The total required venting capacity, in cubic meters of air per
hour at standard conditions of 15.6 [deg]C and 1 atm (cubic feet of
air per hour at standard conditions of 60 [deg]F and 14.7 psia);
T = The absolute temperature of the vapor at the venting
conditions--degrees Kelvin ([deg]C+273) [degrees Rankine
([deg]F+460)];
A = The exposed surface area of tank shell--square meters (square
feet);
L = The latent heat of vaporization of the lading--calories per gram
(BTU/lb);
Z = The compressibility factor for the vapor (if this factor is
unknown, let Z equal 1.0);
M = The molecular weight of vapor;
C = A constant derived from (K), the ratio of specific heats of the
vapor. If (K) is unknown, let C = 315.
C = 520[K(2/(K+1))[(K+1)/(K-1)]]0.5
Where:
K = Cp / Cv
Cp = The specific heat at constant pressure, in -calories
per gram degree centigrade (BTU/lb [deg]F.); and
Cv = The specific heat at constant volume, in -calories
per gram degree centigrade (BTU/lb [deg]F.).

Sec. 178.606 Stacking test.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(2) * * *
(ii) The packaging may be tested using a dynamic compression
testing machine. The test must be conducted at room temperature on an
empty, unsealed packaging. The test sample must be centered on the
bottom platen of the testing machine. The top platen must be lowered
until it comes in contact with the test sample. Compression must be
applied end to end. The speed of the compression tester must be one-
half inch plus or minus one-fourth inch per minute. An initial preload
of 50 pounds must be applied to ensure a definite contact between the
test sample and the platens. The distance between the platens at this
time must be recorded as zero deformation. The force A to then be
applied must be calculated using the formula:
Liquids: A = (n-1) [w + (s x v x 8.3 x .98)] x 1.5;
Solids: A = (n-1) (m x 2.2 x 1.5)
Where:
A = applied load in pounds
m = the certified maximum gross mass for the container in kilograms.
n = minimum number of containers that, when stacked, reach a height
of 3 meters.
s = specific gravity of lading.
w = maximum weight of one empty container in pounds.
v = actual capacity of container (rated capacity + outage) in
gallons.
And:
8.3 corresponds to the weight in pounds of 1.0 gallon of water.
.98 corresponds to the minimum filling percentage of the maximum
capacity for liquids.
1.5 is a compensation factor that converts the static load of the
stacking test into a load suitable for dynamic compression testing.
2.2 is the conversion factor for kilograms to pounds.
