Class 3
Class 3 “Flammable” liquids are those with a flashpoint above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Examples of Class 3 Flammable Liquids include acetaldehyde, petroleum ether, and ethyl chloride. Class 3 “Combustible” liquids are those with a flashpoint above 100 degree and below 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
What makes a Class 2 flammable liquid hazardous?
Any liquid meeting one of the definitions of a Class 2 (Divisions 2.1, 2.2, & 2.3) compressed gas at 49 CFR 173.115. Any mixture having one or more components with a flash point ≥60°C (140°F), that make up at least 99% of the total volume of the mixture, if the mixture is not offered for transportation or transported at or above its flash point.
Which is the best example of a flammable liquid?
Let’s breakdown the details of each class with some examples. A Class IA flammable liquid is any liquid with a closed-cup flash point below 73°F (23°C) AND with a boiling point below 100°F (38°C). A Class IB flammable liquid is any liquid with a closed-cup flash point below 73°F (23°C) AND with a boiling point at or above 100°F (38°C).
Do you need CDL to transport class 3 flammable liquid?
While the only documentation required for certain small shipments are MSDS sheets, larger shipments must include an emergency response guide and hazmat bill of lading. Drivers who transport more than 119 gallons or more than 1,001 pounds of class 3 dangerous goods must also have a commercial driver’s license, or CDL.
What is the flash point of a combustible liquid?
Combustible liquids are classified as Class II and Class III, which are further sub-classified, based upon additional criteria that affect fire risk, as Class IIIA and Class IIIB – these liquids have flash points of 100 ºF (37.8 ºC) or more.
