propellants definition
propellants means substances or mixtures that react chemically to produce large volumes of hot gases at controlled rates to perform mechanical work;
propellants means compressed gases or vapours in a container which, upon release of pressure and expansion through a valve, carry another substance from the container. Typical propellants are carbon dioxide, propane, butane, and isobutane;
propellants means gases other than air which expel a foodstuff from a container;
More Definitions of propellants
propellants as follows:
1. Any solid "propellant" with a theoretical specific impulse (under standard conditions) of more than:
a. 240 seconds for non-metallized, non-halogenized "propellant";
b. 250 seconds for non-metallized, halogenized "propellant"; or
c. 260 seconds for metallized "propellant";
propellants not specified elsewhere in the Munitions List, specially designed for military use;
c. Pyrotechnics", fuels and related substances, as follows, and mixtures thereof:
1. Aircraft fuels specially formulated for military purposes;
c.1. are finished products, not their constituents.
2. ▇▇▇▇▇ (aluminium hydride) (CAS 7784-21-6);
3. Carboranes; decaborane (CAS 17702-41-9); pentaboranes (CAS ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇ and 18433-84-6) and their derivatives;
4. Hydrazine and derivatives, as follows (see also ML8.d.8. and d.9. for oxidising hydrazine derivatives):
a. Hydrazine (CAS 302-01-2) in concentrations of 70% or more;
b. Monomethyl hydrazine (CAS 60-34-4);
c. Symmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (CAS 540-73-8);
d. Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (CAS 57-14-7);
c.4.a. does not apply to hydrazine 'mixtures' specially formulated for corrosion control.
