Nitrates-Continued Ammonium nitrateContinued

Ammonium nitrate phos. phate (No organic coating).

For permit requirements see 146.22-30.

Characteristic properties, cautions, markings required

Do not stow in the same hold nor in any hold above, below or adjacent to one in which sulfur in bulk is stowed.

Use minimum of combustible dunnage. (See § 146.22-30 (1).)

Remove trash, scrap, and spilled material promptly. Bags must be stowed so as to provide maximum ventilation and access for water in the event of fire. (See § 146.22-30 (f).)

Hose lines must be connected, laid out and tested before loading or unloading operations commence.

Smoking, except in designated areas, the use of open lights, welding or burning, or other ignition sources in the hold, on deck, or on the dock immediately adjoining ammonium nitrate material shall be strictly prohibited. A fire watch shall be provided by the master and stationed in the hold from which the material is being loaded or unloaded.

The master or person in charge of loading or unloading the vessel shall ensure that the operation is supervised at all times and that all precautions are observed. Containers shall be marked "Ammonium Nitrate".

In Event of Fire in the Cargo: Flood with large volume of water.

Do not use steam or other methods of smothering. Provide maximum ventilation by removing hatch covers, and opening all access openings to the hold. The mixtures consist of approximately 60% by weight of am. monium nitrate and 40% of phosphate salts, mainly dicalcium phosphate.

Other ammonium nitrate phosphate formulations, which when tested show hazards similar to those demonstrated by the ammonium nitrate phosphate mixtures, are also included in this group. Under conditions of exposure to temperatures above 400° F., rapid decomposition and ignition may occur. If the gaseous products of reaction cannot escape freely, pressure and temperature will rise, and explosive decomposition may

occur.

Do not accept for shipment if the temperature of the bagged material exceeds 130° F. Do not stow in the same hold,

nor in any hold above or below one in which explosives are stowed. The engine and boiler spaces or one complete hold shall intervene between stowages, on a horizontal plane.

Stowage:

Cargo vessel

"On deck protected."
"On deck under cover."
"Tween decks."
"Under deck."
Outside containers:

Multi-ply paper bags, not over
200 lb. net wt., moisture proof,
made tight against sifting and
of a strength not less than bags
made of 72 ounce burlap.
Burlap bags, not over 200 lb.

tight against sifting, and of
not less than 71⁄2 ounce burlap.
Wooden barrels or kegs.
Fiber drums.

Metal barrels or drums (see
§ 146.22-30 (c) (2)).

NOTE: It is not required that the above containers be ICC specification containers, although ICC specification containers are acceptable, but the officer in charge of loading the vessel shall satisfy himself they are sufficient in all respects for the purpose intended. He shall refuse any containers showing damage, leakage, or inability to properly contain the substance.

Stow well away from steam pipes, electrical circuits, or other sources of heat.

Do not stow in the same hold with cotton, charcoal or other inflammable solids or oxidizing materials, nor with combustible materials or finely divided substances or powders.

The mixtures are composed of Yellow..... approximately 60 percent by weight of ammonium nitrate and 40 percent of fine carbonate (precipitated calcium carbonate, chalk, ground limestone, or ground dolomite). These should be blended to together by wet methods so that the proportions of the component materials are uniform throughout the mass. Contains approximately 20.5 percent by weight of nitrogen. Do not accept for shipment if the temperature of the material exceeds 130° F. Do not stow in the same hold,

nor in any hold above or below one in which explosives are stowed. The engine and boiler spaces or one complete hold shall intervene between stowages, on a horizontal plane. Do not stow in the same hold, nor in any hold above, below, or adjacent to one in which inflammable compressed gases (red gas label), inflammable liquids (red label), combustible liquids, or corrosive liquids (white label) are stowed. Stow well away from steam pipes, electrical circuits, or other sources of heat.

Do not use explosives to break up caked material.

Use minimum of combustible dunnage. (See (146.22-30 (f)).

Remove trash, scrap, and spilled material promptly. Bags must be stowed so as to provide maximum ventilation and access for water in the event of fire. (See 146.22-30 (f)).

Containers shall be marked
"Ammonium nitrate-Car-
bonate mixtures".

In Event of Fire in This
Cargo:

Flood with large volume of
water.

Do not use steam or other methods of smothering. Provide maximum ventilation by removing hatch covers, and opening all access openings to the hold.
