Industry:Fire safety
Explosive material that is characterized by deflagration or a low rate of reaction and the development of low pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
Explosive material that can be detonated by 150 gr (9. 8 g) M2 ball ammunition having a nominal muzzle velocity of 2700 ft/sec (824 m/sec) where fired from a 0. 30 caliber rifle at a distance of 100 ft (30 m), measured perpendicularly.
Industry:Fire safety
Exists at cryogenic temperature, approximately -184. 4°C (-300°F) at atmospheric pressure. It retains all of the properties of gaseous oxygen, but, in addition, when allowed to warm to room temperature at atmospheric pressure, it will evaporate and expand to fill a volume 860 times its liquid volume.
