Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 10, October 1, 2024
Section 333-016-0045 - Method for Determining Extremely Flammable and Flammable Contents of Self-Pressurized Containers
(1) Equipment required. The test equipment consists of a base eight inches wide, two feet long, marked in six-inch intervals. A rule two feet long and marked in inches is supported horizontally on the side of the base and about six inches above it. A paraffin candle one inch or more in diameter and of such height that the top third of the flame is at the height of the horizontal rule, is placed at the zero point in the base.
(2) Procedure. The test is conducted in a draft-free area that can be ventilated and cleared after each test. Place the self-pressurized container at a distance of six inches from the flame source. Spray for periods of 15 seconds to 20 seconds (one observer noting the extension of the flame and the other operating the container) through the top third of the flame and at a right angle to the flame. The height of the flame should be approximately two inches. Take three readings for each test, and average. As a precaution, do not spray large quantities in a small, confined space. Free space of previously discharged material.
