- Metal lithium, metal potassium, metal sodium, yellow phosphor, phosphor
sulfide, red phosphor, celluloids, calcium carbonate (also called carbide),
calcium phosphate, magnesium powder, aluminum powder, metal powders
other than magnesium powder and aluminum powder, hydrosulfite.
• Oxides:
- Potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate, ammonium chlorate and other chlorates.
-

peroxides.
-
Potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and other nitrates.
- Sodium chlorite and other chlorites.
-
Calcium hypochlorite and other hypochlorites.
• Ignitable Substances:
-
Ethyl ether, gasoline, acetaldehyde, propylene oxide, carbon disulfide and
other substances with an ignition point of -30°C (-22°F).

(85°F) and below 65°C (150°F).
•
Combustible Gases
- Hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, methane, ethane, propane, butane and other
combustible substances that are in a gaseous state at a temperature of 15°C
(60°F) and at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
Spark-Resistant Interior Precautions (Option):
If chamber interior is spark-resistant, it is equipped with safety devices configured
for specific substances. Refer to chamber specification for minimum allowable
auto-ignition temperature (AIT). Consult Espec for use with other substances.
