JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Only approved containers and portable tanks shall be used. Metal containers and portable tanks meeting the requirements of and containing products authorized by chapter I, title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (regulations issued by the Hazardous Materials Regulations Board, Department of Transportation), shall be deemed to be acceptable.
Flammable liquid containers shall be in accordance with Table H-12, except that glass or plastic containers of no more than 1-gallon capacity may be used for a Category 1 or 2 flammable liquid if:
Note: Container exemptions: (a) Medicines, beverages, foodstuffs, cosmetics, and other common consumer items,
when packaged according to commonly accepted practices, shall be exempt from the requirements of
1910.106(d)(2)(i) and (ii)
Container type | Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 | Category 4 |
Glass or approved plastic | 1 pt | 1 qt | 1 gal | 1 gal |
Metal (other than DOT drums) | 1 gal | 5 gal | 5 gal | 5 gal |
Safety cans | 2 gal | 5 gal | 5 gal | 5 gal |
Metal drums (DOT specifications) | 60 gal | 60 gal | 60 gal | 60 gal |
Approved portable tanks | 660 gal | 660 gal | 660 gal | 660 gal |
when packaged according to commonly accepted practices, shall be exempt from the requirements of
1910.106(d)(2)(i) and (ii)
Such liquid either would be rendered unfit for its intended use by contact with metal or would excessively corrode a metal container so as to create a leakage hazard; and
The user's process either would require more than 1 pint of a Category 1 flammable liquid or more than 1 quart of a Category 2 flammable liquid of a single assay lot to be used at one time, or would require the maintenance of an analytical standard liquid of a quality which is not met by the specified standards of liquids available, and the quantity of the analytical standard liquid required to be used in any one control process exceeds one-sixteenth the capacity of the container allowed under Table H-12 for the category of liquid; or
The containers are intended for direct export outside the United States.
Each portable tank shall be provided with one or more devices installed in the top with sufficient emergency venting capacity to limit internal pressure under fire exposure conditions to 10 p.s.i.g., or 30 percent of the bursting pressure of the tank, whichever is greater. The total venting capacity shall be not less than that specified in paragraphs (b)(2)(v) (c) or (e) of this section. At least one pressure-activated vent having a minimum capacity of 6,000 cubic feet of free air (14.7 p.s.i.a. and 60 deg. F.) shall be used. It shall be set to open at not less than 5 p.s.i.g. If fusible vents are used, they shall be actuated by elements that operate at a temperature not exceeding 300 deg. F.
