ASTM-F371:1994 Edition

ASTM F371

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative reactivity of materials with liquid oxygen under impact using the AFAPL impact tester. It is designed to yield an evaluation of the potential fire or explosive hazard of the material in contact with liquid oxygen under impact energy only, and shall not be used to predict such hazard from other forms of energy.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
