Users of this document should consult applicable federal. state and local laws and regulations. NFPA does not, by the publication of this document, intend tourge action that is notin compliance with applicable laws, and this document may not be construedas doing so. Policy Adopted by NFPA Board of Directors on December 3,1982 The Board of Directors reaffirms that the National Fire Protection Association recognizes that the toxicity of the products of combustion is an important factor in the loss of life from fire. NFPA has dealt with that subject in its technical committee documents for many years. There is a concern that the growing use of synthetic materials may produce more or additional toxic products of combustion in a fire environment. The Board has, therefore, asked all NFPA technical committees to review the documents for which they are responsible to be sure that the documents respond to this current concem. To assist the committeesin meeting this request, the Board has appointed an advisory committee to provide specific guidance to the technical committees on questions relating to assessing the hazards of the products of combustion.

NFPA 325 Guide to

Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids 1994 Edition This edition of NFPA 325, Guide to Fare Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Classification and Properties of Hazardous Chemical Data and acted on by the National Fire Protection Association, Inc. at its Annual Meeting held May 16-18, 1994, in San Francisco, CA. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 14, 1994, with an effective date of August 5, 1994, and supersedes all previous editions. The 1994 edition of this document has been approved Standards Institute.

by the American National

Changes other than editorial are indicated by a vertical rule in the marginof the pages on whichthey appear. These lines are included as an aid to the user in identifying changes from the previous edition.

Origin and Development of NFPA 325 The first edition of NFPA 325, 325111, was presented to the Association in 1930. Successively revised and enlarged editions were published in 1935, 1941 , 1945, 1947, 195 1, 1954, 1960, 1965, 1969, 1977, and 1984. This 1994 edition is an amended version of the 1991 edition. The hazard identification ratings of NFPA 704, Standard System for the Ident$cation of the Fire Hazards of Materials, have been updated tobe consistent with changes made tochemicals listed in NFPA 49, Hazardous Chemicals Data. These are indicatedby a vertical rule in the left-hand margin. This document is not a code, standard, or recommended practice, as these terms are defined by NFPA. It is only a compilation of basic fire protection properties of various materials, prefaced by an explanation of the properties covered. The data contained have been collected from numerous authoritative sources, including the U S . Bureau of Mines, Factory Mutual Research Corporation, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc., as well as from the manufacturers of the materials. The originating source of the data is on file at NFPA headquarters and may be obtained upon request. The table presented here summarizes available data on the fire hazard properties of about 1,500 substances, listed alphabetically by their chemical name. In addition, about 500 synonyms are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced to their proper entries. The valuCs for any given property are representative and deemedsuitable for general use. Where differences exist in reference sources, the value selected for inclusion in this compilation is conservative. Slight differences are to be expected between data sources, due to differences in the purity of test samples, minor differences in test apparatus, and minor differences in technique and observation. In almost all cases, these minor variations have little practical significance. Where there is difference of opinion as to the actual value of a property of a given material or where thevalidity of the data presented is questioned, further tests should then be conducted on representative samples of the specific material in question by a qualified testing laboratory.

“oc” after the entry. In the case of some of the older data in this manual, it couldnotbedeterminedwhethera closed cup or open cup procedure had been used. In these cases, it has been assumed that the data is based on closed cup tests. For further information on the flash point test procedures used, see NFPA 321, Standard on Basic Classijîcation of Flammble and Combustible Liquzds.

Guide to Fire Hazard Properties of FlammableLiquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids 1994 Edition Chapter 1 General 1-1 Scope. This guide applies to flammable liquids, flammable gases, and volatile flammable solids. 1-2 Purpose. The purpose of this guide is to provide the user with basic fire hazard information on the materials covered by the scope. 1-3 Definitions of Fire Hazard Properties. 1-3.1 N o single fire hazard property, such as flash point orignitiontemperature,shouldbeused to describeor appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of a material, product, assembly, or system under actual fire conditions. The fire hazardproperties giveninthis guidehavebeendeterminedundercontrolledlaboratoryconditionsand may properly be used to measure or describe the response of materials,products, assemblies, or systems underthese conditions.Propertiesmeasuredundertheseconditions may beusedas elements of afire risk assessmentonly when such assessment takes into account all of the factors that are pertinent to the evaluation of the fire hazard of a given situation. 1-3.2 Thepertinentliteratureseldommentionsthe degree of purity of the material being tested; evenboiling point or melting point data are frequently missing. These data, if available, would permit judging the purity of the material and, hence, the reliance to be placed on the values reported, particularly with respect to flash point and flammablerange. Finally, it mustberememberedthat there is little industrial use of high purity materials. As a consequence of these considerations, no values of purity are given in this compilation. The melting points and boiling points should be regarded as approximations. 1-3.3 Flash Point. The flash point of a liquid is the minimum temperature at which the liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitible mixture with air near the surface of the liquid or within the test vessel used. By “ignitible mixture” it is meant a mixture thatis within the flammable range (between the upper and lower limits) and, thus, is capable of propagation of flame away from the source of ignition.Someevaporation takes place below the flash point, but not in quantities sufficient to form an ignitible mixture. Flash point applies mostly to flammable and combustible liquids, although certain solids, such as camphor and naphthalene, that slowly volatilize at ordinary room temperature,orcertainliquids,suchasbenzene,that freeze at relatively high temperatures, will exhibit a flash point in the solid state.

T h e flash points given in this manual are, for the most part, closed cup flash points. Where the only available data is based on open cup tests, this is designated by the initials

1-3.4 Ignition Temperature. The ignitiontemperature of a substance, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is the minimum temperature required to cause self-sustained combustion, independently of the heating or heated element. Ignition temperatures observed under one set of conditions may differmarkedlyfromthoseobservedunder another set of conditions. For this reason, ignition temperatures should be regarded as approximations. Some of the variables known to affect ignition temperature are the percentage of the gas or vapor in the mixture, the shape and size of the test vessel, the rate and duration of heating, the kind and temperature of the ignition source, and catalytic or other effects of materials that may be present. As there are many differences in ignition temperature test methods, such as the size and shape of the test vessel, the material of construction of the test vessel, method and rate of heating, residence time, and method of flame detection, it is not surprising that reported ignition temperatures may differ for the same material. The majority of the data reported in this manual have been obtained by one of two methods: ASTM D286 and ASTM D2155. Both have been withdrawn by the American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM D2155 has been replaced by ASTM E659, Standard Test Method for Autoignition Temperatures of Liquid Chemicals. An earlier test method, ASTM D2883, Test Method f o r Reaction Threshold Temperature of Liquid and Solid Materials, provides for the study of autoignitionphenomenaatreducedand elevated pressures. 791B, Method 5050, is FederalTestMethodStandard another current test method that provides for the measurement of autoignitionpropertiesinthesameterms used by the ASTM procedures. Previous test methods relied only on visual detection of flame. Consequently,theignitiontemperaturesobtained by these procedures were the minimum temperatures at which hot-flame ignition occurred. The current test methods employ thermoelectric flame detection,thuspermitting the detectionof nonluminous orbarely luminous reactions that were difficult or impossible to detect by the older procedures. As a result, thefollowing terms have come into use: --`,``,`,,``,,`,``,,`````,`,`,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

NFPA 325

Hot-FlameIgnition. Arapid, self-sustaining, sometimes audible gas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposition products with an oxidant. A readily visible yellow or blue flame usually accompanies the reaction. Cool-FlameIgnition. A relatively slow, self-sustaining, barely luminous gas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposition products with an oxidant. Cool flames are visible only in a darkened area. Pre-FlarnP Reaction. A slow, nonluminousgas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposition products with an oxidant. CatalyticReaction. A relatively fast, self-sustaining, energetic, sometimesluminous,sometimesaudible reaction

that occurs as a result of the catalytic action of any substanceonthesampleor its decompositionproducts,in admixture with an oxidant.

Non-Combustive Reaction. A reaction other than combustion or thermal degradation that is undergone by certain substances when they are exposed to heat. Thermal polymerization is an example of this type of reaction. ReactionThreshold. The lowest temperatureat which any reaction of the sample or its decomposition products occurs, for any sampleioxidant ratio. Autoipition Temperature (AIT). Thecurrentlyaccepted term for the Hot-Flame Ignition Temperature. Cool-Flame Reaction Threshold (CFT). The lowest temperature at which cool-flame ignitions are observed for a particular system. Previously undefined. Prejlame-ReactionThreshold ( R U ) . T h e lowest temperature at which exothermic gas-phase reactions are observed for a particular system. Previously undefined. Previously, reportedignitiontemperatures,including those given in this manual, have corresponded roughly to the autoignition temperature (AIT), provided that proper allowances were made for empiricaldifferences in the measurement technique. In the future, it is expected that CFT a n d R I T will routinely be reported. Both are lower than AIT and are significant factorstobeevaluated in the assessment of the overall ignition risk of a given system. Coolflames are self-sustaining, exothermic ignitionreactions that, under proper circumstances, may act as the initiator of moreenergetichot-flamereactions.Pre-flame reactionshavethecapacity,underadiabaticornearadiabatic conditions, to elevate the temperature of a fuel/ air mixture to the point where cool- or hot-flame ignition may occur. As an illustration of the effects of test methods, the ignition temperature of hexane, as determined by three different methods, are 437°F (225”C),637°F (336“C), and 950°F (510°C). The effect of percentage composition is shown by the following ignition temperatures for pentane: 1018.4”F (548.4”C) at 1.5 percent, 935.6”F (502.4”C) at 3.75 percent, and 888.8”F (476.3”C) at 7.65 percent. The following ignition temperaturesforcarbon disulfide demonstratethe effect of the size of the test vessel: 248°F (120°C) in a 200 ml flask, 230°F (1 l 0 T ) in a 1 liter flask, and 205°F (96OC) in a 10 liter flask. The effect of the material of construction of the test vessel is shown by the following ignition temperatures for benzene: 1060°F (572°C) in a quartz vessel and 1252°F (678°C) in an iron vessel. The ignition temperature of a combustible solid is influenced by the rate of air flow, rate of heating, andsize of the sample. Small sample tests have shown that, as the rate of air flow or the rate of heating is increased, the ignition t e m p e r a t u r ed e c r e a s e st o a minimumvalue,then increases.

1-3.5 Flammable (Explosive) Limits. In the case of gases or vapors that form flammable mixtures with air, oxygen, orotheroxidizers,such as chlorineandnitrousoxide, there is a minimum concentration of the material below

325-5

which propagation of flamedoesnotoccur. Similarly, there is a maximum concentration above which propagation of flame does not occur. These boundary mixtures, which, if ignited, will just propagate flame, are known as the “lower and upper flammable or explosive limits” and are usually expressed as percent by volume of the material a mixture in air(orotheroxidant).Inpopularterms, below the lowerflammable limit (LFL) is too “lean”to burn, while a mixtureabovetheupperflammable limit (UFL) is too “rich” to burn. The values for the flammable limits given in this manual arebasedonatmospherictemperaturesandpressures, unless otherwise indicated. Therewill be considerable variation inflammable limits at temperatures and pressures above or below ambient. The general effect of an increase in temperature or pressure is to decrease the lower limit and to increase the upper limit, Le., broaden the range between the two limits. A decrease in the temperature or pressure has the opposite effect. In most cases, the values giveninthis manual represent the concentration limits over which hot-flame ignitions have been observed.If coolflame ignitions are considered,wider flammable ranges are observed. Researchhasshown that flammability limits are not a fundamental combustion property, but depend on many variables, including the surface-to-volume ratio of the test vessel, the direction of air flow, and the velocity of air flow. In some experiments conducted at laminar flow velocities, theupper limit increased with increasing flow velocity, reached a maximum that was independent of the diameter of the test vessel, then decreased as flow became turbulent. The lower limit has been unaffected by air flow rate. ASTM E681 is the current test method for determining flammablelimits.However,much of thedatawere obtained in small diameter tubes with ignition at the bottom so thatflamepropagation was upward.Formost hydrocarbons, this method is appropriate.However,for highly oxygenated,aminated,orhalogenatedmaterials, larger diameter equipment is required to avoid quenching of the flame. Larger diameter test equipment or more energeticignitionsources may better reflect real world burning conditions. The terms “flammable limits’’ and “explosive limits” are interchangeable. The range of concentration between the lower flammable limit and the upper flammable limit is known as the “flammable range,” also referred to and synonymous with “explosive range.” All concentrations of a gas or vapor in air that lie between the flammable limits are ignitible. T h e specific 1-3.6 SpecificGravity(RelativeDensity). gravity of a substance is the ratio of the weight of that substance to the weight of an equal volume of another substance. In this manual, the other substance is water. The values given in this manual for specific gravity are rounded to the nearest tenth. For materials whose specific gravity is from 0.95 to 1.O, the value is shown as 1.O - . For materials whose specific gravity is from 1.0 to 1.05, the value is given as 1.0 + . In a few cases, such as fuel oils, where the percentage composition of the substance varies, specific gravity is given as less than ( < ) or greater than ( > ) l.

325-6 1-3.7 Vapor Density. T h e vapor density of a substance is the ratio of the weight of a volume ofpure vapor orgas (no air present) to an equal volumeof dry air at the same temperature and pressure. It is calculated as the ratio of the molecular weight of the substance to the molecular weight of air, 29. A vapor density of less than 1 indicates that the substance is lighter than air and will tend to rise in a relatively calm atmosphere. A vapor density of greater than 1 indicates that the substance is heavier than air and may a travel along grade level foraconsiderabledistanceto source ofignition and flash back,assumingthegas or vapor is flammable.

1-3.8 Boiling Point. T h e boilingpoint of eachliquid is given at a pressure of 14.7 psia (760 mm Hg). Where an accurate boiling pointis not available for a specific entry or where a specific entry is actually a mixture of components anddoesnothaveaconstantboilingpoint,theboiling point given is the 10 percentdistillationpointas determined by ASTM D86, Standard Method of Test f o r Distillation of Petroleum Products. 1-3.9 Melting Point. Meltingpoints are reported in this manualformostmaterialsthatmeltat 70°F (21°C) or higher.However,themeltingpoint is not available for some of these materials. 1-3.10 Water Solubility. Watersolubilitydataare reported only for those materials for which reliable information is available, because of the lack of uniformity with which water solubility data are reported in the literature and because of the conflicting statements that sometimes accompany these data. Where such data is reported in this manual, “No” indicates that the material’s solubility is less than 10 grams per 100 milliliters (ml) ofwater;“Slight” indicates solubility is between 10 and 24 grams per 100 ml of water; “Yes” indicatessolubility of 25 or more grams per 100 ml of water.

Information on the degree towhich a material is soluble in water is useful in determining effective extinguishing methodsandagents.Forexample,alcohol-resistantfire fighting foams are usually recommended for water-soluble flammable and combustibleliquids. Also, fires involving water-soluble liquids can be extinguished by dilution with water, although this method is not commonly used because of the amount of water needed to dilute most flammable liquids to the point of noncombustibility and because of the danger of frothing if the liquid is heated to the boiling point of water, 212°F (1 OOOC). 1-4 Extinguishing Methods.

1-4.1 General. Theextinguishingmethodscommonly used for fires involving flammable liquids are suitable for use on fires involving most of the materials listed in this manual. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, and vaporizing liquid extinguishing agents have all been found to be suitable for use on flammable liquid fires of moderate size, such as in dip tanks o r small spills of no appreciable depth.

Water spray or fog can be particularly effective on fires involving flammable liquids and volatile solids whose flash points exceed 100°F (37.8”C). However, with liquids whose flash points exceed 212°F (100”C), frothing may occur. For information on the installation of water spray protection for flammable and combustible liquids, see NFPA 15, Standard for Water Spray Fixed Systems f o r Fire Protection. Automatic sprinklers are similar to water spray systems in extinguishing effectiveness. Their principal value is in absorbingtheheatfromthefireandkeepingthesurroundings cooluntiltheflammableliquidsfireeither burns out or is extinguished by other means. Automatic sprinklers have a good record of fire control in garages, in paint and oil rooms, and in storage areas where liquids are kept in closedcontainers. Insomeindustriesthatuse water-soluble liquids, such as the distilled spirits industry, sprinkler systems have been used to achieve protection and extinguishment withexcellentresults.Whereautomatic sprinklers are used to protect open tanks, overflow drains are necessaryto preventsprinklerdischargefromoverflowing the tank and spreading burning liquid to others parts of theproperty.Forfurtherinformationonautomatic sprinklers, seeNFPA 13, Standard f o r the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. Hose streams, both solid and straight streams, are frequentlyusedtocooltanks,containers,andequipment from the heat of an exposing fire. They are also used for washing burning spills away from areas where the burning liquid could ignite other material. However, hose streams may also spread and extend the spill fire, if improperly of used. Also, hosestreamsappliedtoopencontainers burning liquid will only serve to spread the fire, either by splashing the burning liquid out of the container or by causing frothing of the liquid. Use of automatic-closing covers on open tanks or equipment containing flammable o r combustibleliquid is also effective in fire controlandextinguishment. T h e covers should be operated by a fusible link, with a manual override.Suchcoversaresuitableforany size tankexcept where objects being dipped or conveyor systems may prevent tight closing of the cover.

1-4.2 Selecting an Extinguishing Method. T h e selection of the extinguishing method used should be made with some degree of caution. Flowingfires,such as may be caused by a leaking overhead pipe, with burning liquid on the ground, are always difficult to extinguish. The amount of extinguishing agent and its rate and method of application must be carefully chosen in relation to the size and type offire anticipated and may call for special engineering judgment. The use of approved extinguishing equipment is also a major consideration. The chemical and physical propertiesofthematerial involved will also affect the choice of extinguishing method and agent. Standard fire fighting foam cannot be used on fires involving water-soluble flammable liquids; the liquid destroysthefoamblanket.Thosepropertiesthat affect extinguishment were taken into consideration when selectingthemethods givenforeachmaterial in thecolumn

“No,” “Very Slight,” “Slight,” and “Yes” are sometimes used without definition in the literature to describe water solubility. In those cases where doubt exists as to a material’s solubility in water, tests should be conducted.

headed “Extinguishing Methods.” The following information describes the properties of the material that dictate the numerically designated entries in this column. 1. WaterMayBeIneffective. This precaution applies to materialsthathave a flash point below 100°F (373°C). Obviously, the lower the flash point, the less effective the water will be.However,watercan beused on low-flash point liquids when applied as a spray to absorb heat and to protect exposed material’ of structures. Much of the effectiveness of using water spray, particularly from hose lines, will depend on the method of application. With proper selection of nozzles, even gasoline spill fires can be extinguished when several coordinated hose streams are used to sweep the flames from the surface of the burning liquid. Waterhas also beenusedtoextinguishfires involving water-soluble flammable liquids by cooling and diluting the liquid. The distilled spirits industry has beenespecially successful in using water to control and extinguishfires of this type.

Thus,thephrase“water may be ineffective” indicates that,althoughwatercanbeusedto cool andprotect exposed material, water may not be capable of extinguishingthefireunlessusedunderfavorableconditions by experiencedfirefighterstrained in fighting all types of flammable liquids fires.

2. Water or FoamMayCauseFrothing. Thisstatement applies to liquids having flash points above 2 12°F ( 100°C) and is included only as a precaution. It does not indicate that water or fire fighting foam should not be used. The frothing may be violent and could endanger any firefighters located too close totheburningliquid,particularly when solid streams of wateraredirectedontothehot, burningliquid.Ontheotherhand, acarefully applied water sprayhasfrequentlybeenusedto achieve extinguishment by deliberately causing frothingonly on the surface of the liquid; the foaming action blankets the surface of the liquid and extinguishes the fire by excluding oxygen. This tactic is especially successful with high viscosity liquids.Forexample,certainasphaltshave alow-flash point solvent added for fluidity, but because of the relatively high viscosity, frothing action is able to achieve fire control and extinguishment.

3. WaterMay ß P Used toBlanketFire. This statement is applicable to those liquids that have a specific gravity of l . 1 or greater and are not water-soluble. However, the water must be gently applied to the surface of the liquid, preferably with a fine spray or fog nozzle. 4. Water May Be Ineffective, Except as a Blanket. This statement is used as a warning for liquids whose flash points are below 100°F (373°C) and applies only to those liquids that have a specific gravity of l . 1 or greater and are not watersoluble. Here again, the water must be gently applied to the surface of the liquid. 5 . AlcoholFoam. Alcohol-resistant firefighting foam is recommended for use on all water-soluble liquids or polar solvent-typeliquids, except for those that are only“very slightly” soluble. Certain judgment factors are introduced, however, since ordinary fire fighting foam may be used on some liquids that are only“slightly”soluble,particularly if the foam is appliedathigher-than-normal application rates. Conversely,someflammableliquids, such as

325-7

thehighermolecularweight alcohols andamines, will destroy alcohol-resistant foams, even when applied at very high rates.Foams shouldnot beused on water-reactive materials. Some recently developed alcohol-resistantfoamshave been listed for use on both polar and nonpolar liquids. These “multipurpose” foams are suitable for use on nearly all flammable liquids except those that are water-reactive and are preferred for flammable liquid fires because they greatly minimize the problemsof foam selection. Fire fighting foam suppliers should be consulted for recommendations regarding types of foam and application rates. 6. Stop Flow of Gas. For fires involving flammable gases, the best procedure is to stop the flow of the gas before attempting extinguishment of the fire. To extinguish the fire while allowing continued flow of the gas is extremely dangerous; an explosive cloud of gasiair mixture may be created that, if ignited, may cause far more damage than theoriginal fire. Extinguishingtheflameusingcarbon dioxide or dry chemical may be desirable to allow immediate access to valves to shut off the flow of gas, but this must be done carefully. In many cases, it will be preferable to allow continued burning, while protecting exposures with water spray, until the flow of gas can be stopped.

1-5 Suggested Hazard Identification. 1-5.1 T h e increased use of chemicals, many of which introducedhazardsotherthan flammability,led to the need for a simple hazard identification system that could be immediately recognized by emergency response personnel. This need led to the development of the NFPA 704 HazardIdentificationSystem,otherwiseknown as the NFPA 704 diamond. This system is completely described in NFPA 704, Standard System f o r the Identifculion of theFire Hazards of Materials. The system provides simple, readily recognized, and easily understood markings that give, at a glance, a general idea of the inherent hazards of the material and the order of severity of these hazards, asthey relate to fire protection, exposure, and control. The system’s objectives are to provide an appropriate alert signal and on-the-spot information to safeguard the lives of both public andprivateemergencyresponsepersonnel.The system also assists in planning for effective firefighting operations and may be used by plant design engineers and plant protection and safety personnel. The system identifies the hazards of a material in terms of three categories: “Health,” “Flammability,” and “Reactivity.” It indicates the order of severity of these hazards by means of a numerical rating of O, indicating no special hazard, to 4, indicating extreme hazard. The three hazardcategories were selected after studying about 35 inherent and environmental hazards of materials that could affect fire fightingoperations.The five degrees of hazardwere decided upon as necessary to give the required information. Finally, the system hadto be relatively simpleand readily understood. While the system is basically simple in application, the hazard evaluation required for the use of the system in a specific location must be made by experienced, technically competent persons. Their judgmentmust be based on factors that encompass a knowledge of the inherent hazards of different materials, including the extent of change in behavior to be anticipated under conditions of fire exposure and control.

T h e following commentary on the degreesof hazard are an interpretation of the information contained in NFPA 704, Standard Systemf o r the Identzfication of the Fire Hazards of Materials, and are specifically related to fire fighting. See NFPA 704 for more detailed information. Note:Thehazardidentificationratingdefinitions below and the actual ratings in the text are based on definitions from the 1985 edition of NFPA 704. All materials contained in this guide have not yet been rated using the new definitions appearing in the 1990 edition of’ NFPA 704.

requiring the use of an approved air-purifying respirator. These materials are only slightly hazardous to health and only breathing protection is needed. O

1-5.4 FlammabilityHazardRating. Susceptibility to ignition andburning is the basis for assigning thedegree of hazard within this category. The method of attacking the fire is influenced by this susceptibility factor. For further information, refer toSection 1-4, Extinguishing Methods. T h e following information is based onthe definitions of Flammability Hazard Rating contained in NFPA 704, Standard Systemf o r the Identzfication of the Fire Hazards of Materials. Thisdegree includes flammable gases, pyrophoric liquids, and Class IA flammable liquids. The preferred method of fire attack is to stop the flow of material or to protect exposures while allowing the fire to burn itself out.

1-5.3 Health HazardRating. In general, the health hazard in fire fighting is that of a single exposure that may vary from a few seconds to as much as an hour. The physical exertion demanded in fire fighting operations or other emergencies may be expected to intensify the effects of any exposure. Only hazards arising outof the inherent properties of the material are considered. Thefollowing information on the five degrees of hazard are based on the informationinNFPA704andrelatetotheprotective equipment normally available to fire fighters.

This degree includes Class IB and IC flammable liquids and materials that can be easily ignited under almost all normaltemperatureconditions.Water may be ineffective in controllingorextinguishing fires in such materials. This degree includes materials that must be moderately heated before ignition will occur and includes Class II and IIIA combustible liquids and solids and semi-solidsthatreadilygive off ignitiblevapors. Water spray may be used to extinguish fires in these materials because the materials can be cooled below their flash points.

Materials that,on very shortexposure, could cause death or major residual injury, including those that are too dangerous tobe approached without specialized protective equipment. A few whiffs of the vapor or gas can cause death, or contact with the vapor or liquid may be fatal, if it penetrates the fire fighter’s normal protective gear. The normal full protective clothingandbreathingapparatus available tothe typical fire fighter will not provide adequate protectionagainstinhalation o r skin contact with these materials. Materials that,onshortexposure, could cause serioustemporaryorresidualinjury,includingthose requiringprotectionfrom all bodily contact.Fire fighters may enter the areaonly if they are protected from all contact with thematerial. Full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus, coat, pants,gloves, boots, and bands aroundlegs, arms, and waist, should be provided. N o skin surface should be exposed. Materialsthat,onintenseorcontinued(butnot chronic) exposure, could cause temporary incapacitationor possible residualinjury,includingthose requiring the use of respiratoryprotectiveequipmentthathasanindependentairsupply.These materials are hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely if personnel are provided with fullface mask self-containedbreathingapparatusthat provides complete eye protection. Materials that,onexposure, would causeirritation, but only minorresidualinjury,includingthose

Materials that,onexposureunder fire conditions, offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material.

Thisdegreeincludesmaterialsthatmustbepreheated before ignition will occur, such as Class IIIB combustible liquids and solids and semi-solids whose flash point exceeds 200°F (93.4”C), as well as most ordinarycombustiblematerials.Water may cause frothing if it sinks below the surface of the burning liquid and turns to steam. However, a water fog that is gently applied to thesurface of the liquid will cause frothing that will extinguish the fire. This degree includes any material thatwill not burn.

1-5.5 ReactivityHazardRating. The assignment of the degree of reactivity hazard is based on the potential of the material to release energy either by itself o r when in contact with water. In assigning this rating, fire exposure was considered, along with exposure to shock and pressure. The following information is based on the definitions of Reactivity Hazard Rating contained in NFPA 704, Standard System f o r the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials. 4

Thisdegree includes those materials that, in themselves, are readilycapable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures. This includesmaterials that are sensitive to localized mechanical orthermal

This includes materials that are sensitive to thermal and mechanical shock at elevated temperatures and pressures and materialsthatreactexplosivelywithwater.Fires a involvingthesematerials shouldbefoughtfrom protected location.

1-6.3 Mists and Froths. In finely divided form, such as a mist or spray, liquids can be ignited at temperatures considerably below their flash points. As in the case of vapors, the droplets of mist or spray must be present at a minimumconcentration. Similarly, froths maybeignited at temperatures below the flash point.

Thisdegreeincludesmaterialsthatarenormally unstableandreadilyundergoviolentchemical change, but are not capable of detonation.
