It can easily release oxygen to create or worsen a fire or explosion hazard. There are three possible codes for the bottom quarter of the NFPA symbol, what does the symbol W mean? - answerThis indicates a material that reacts with water to release a gas that is either flammable or hazardous to health There are three possible codes for the bottom quarter of the NFPA symbol, what does the tri- blade propeller mean? - answerThe material is radioactive Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.1? - answerconsists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is one that affects almost the entire load instantaneously. explosives in class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.2? - answerconsists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.3? - answerconsists of explosives that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.4? - answerconsists of explosives that present a minor explosion hazard. - The explosive effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. - An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.5? - answerconsists of very insensitive explosives. - This division is comprised of substances that have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of transport. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.6? - answerconsists of extremely insensitive articles, which do not have a mass explosive hazard. - This division is comprised of articles which contain only extremely insensitive detonating substances and which demonstrate a negligible probability of accidental initiation or propagation. Hazard Class 2, Gases. What is division 2.1? - answerflammable gases
