legislation.)
1.7 Definition and Classification of Liquids.
1.7.1 Scope. Section 1.7 shall establish @ uniform system of
defining and classifying flammable and combustible liquids
for the purpose of proper application of this code. This sec-
tion shall apply o any liquid within the scope of, and subject
to, the requirements of this code.
1.7.1.1. Section 1.7 shall not apply to mists, sprays, or foams.
1.7.1.2. Section 1.7 shall not apply to liquids that do not have
flash points, but are capable of burning under certain condi
tions; such liquids include certain halogenated hydrocarbons
and certain mixtures of flammable or combustible liquids and
halogenated hydrocarbons. (Se A.1-1.2(3).]
1.7.2 Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the terms int,
1.7.2.1 dhrough 1.7.2.4 shall have the definitions given.
1.7.2.1* Boiling Point. The temperature at which the vapor
pressure ofa liquid equals the surrounding aumospheric pres
sure. For purpotes of defining the boiling point; aumospheric
pressure shall be considered to be 14.7 psia (760 mm Hg). For
fixtures that do not have a constant boiling point, the 20 per-
cent evaporated point of a distillation performed in accor
ddance with ASTM D 86, Standard Method of Tes for Distillation of
Petroleum Products, shall be considered to be the boiling point.
1.7.2.2* Flash Point. The minimum temperature ofa liquid at
“which sufficient vapor is given off to form an ignitible mixture
‘with the air, near the surface of the liquid or within the vessel
lused, as determined by the appropriate test procedure and,
apparatus specified in 1.7.4
1.7.2.8 Liquid. Any material that has a fluidity greater than
that of 300 penetration asphalt when tested in accordance
with ASTM D 5, Standard Method of Test for Penetration of Btwn
nous Materials.
1.7.2.4* Vapor Pressure. The pressure, measured in pounds
per square inch, absolute (psia), exerted by aliquid, as deter-
{mined by ASTM D 323, Standard Method of Ts for Vapor Pressure
of Petroleum Products (Reid Method).
1,7.3* Classification of Liquids. Any liquid within the scope of,
this code and subject to the requirements of this code shall be
known generally as either flammable liquid or a combustible
liquid and shall be defined and classified in accordance with,
this subsection.
1.7.3.1 Combustible Liquid. Any liquid that has a closed-cup,
ash point at or above 100°F (37.8°C), as determined by the
test procedures and apparatus set forth in 1.7.4, Combustible
liquids are classified as Class IT or Class If as follows: (1) Clas
Liquid — any liquid that has a flash point at or above 100°F
(B7.8"C) and below 140°F (60°C); (2) Clas A —any liquid that
Thas a flash point at or above 140°F (60°C), but below 200°
(93°C); (3) Class 1B — any liquid that has a flash point at or
above 200°F (93°C)
1.7.8.2 Flammable Liquid. Any liquid that has a closed-cup
{lash point below 100°F (37.8°C), as determined by the test pro-
‘cedures and apparatus set forth in 1.7.4. Flammable liquids are
clasified as Class as follows: Class Liguid— any liquid that has
clotedcup flash point below 100°F (378°C) and a Reid vapor
pressure not exceeding 40 psia (2068.6 mm Hg) at 100°F
(878°Q), as determined by ASTM D 323, Standard Method of Test
{for Vopor Pressure of Parolewn Products (Reid Method). Class 1 tquids
are further clasified as follows: (1) Clas IA liquids — those liquids
that have flash points below 73°F (228°C) and boiling points
below 100°F (87.8°C); (2) Class IB liquids — those liquids that
Ihave flash points below 73°F (228°C) and boiling points at or
above 00°F (87.8°C); (3) Clas IC liquids — those liquids that
hhave flash points at or above 73°F (228°C), but below 100°F
(780),
1.7.4 Determination of Flash Point. The flash point of aliquid
shall be determined according to the methods specified in this,
subsection.
1.7.4.1 The flash point of a liquid having a viscosity below
5.5 centStokes at 40°C (104°F) or below 9.5 centiStokes at 25°C
(TT) shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 56. Stan-
dard Method of Test for Pash Point by the Tag Cased Cup Tse.
Exception: Cutback asphalts, liquids that tend to form a surface
film, and liquids that contain suspended solids shall not be tested in
‘cordance unth ASTM D 56, eon if they otherwise met the viscosity
onlera.

‘permitted to be used for paints, enamels, lacquers, varnishes,
and related products and their components that have flash
joints between 0°C. (82°F) and 110°C (230°F) and viscosities
ow 150 Stokes at 25°C (77°F).
1.744. Asan alternative, ASTM D 3828, Standard Test Methods

‘be used for materials other than those for which ASTM D 3278,
Standard Method of Tats for Fash Point of Liquids by Staflash Close
Tesi specifically required.
1.8 Use of Other Units. If value for measurement given in
this standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units,
the first stated shall be regarded as the requirement, The
given equivalent value shall be considered to be approximate.
1.9 General Requirements.
1.9.1 Storage. Liquids shall be stored in tanks in accordance
‘with Chapter 4 or in containers, portable tanks, and interme
diate bulk containers in accordance with Chapter 6.
