Nonvolatile residue in grams per 100 mL = B - A
where: B = Weight of dish and residue after process.
A = Weight of dish before process.
4.4.5 Suspended matter or sediment. Examine visually for any suspended matter or sediment.
4.4.6 Color. A sample of the bromochlorodifluoromethane shall be determined in accordance
with ASTM D 1209 or ASTM D 2108.
4.4.7 Moisture. The analysis may be conducted by the phosphorous pentoxide method,
infrared absorption, by an electrolytic moisture analysis, or by a piezoelectric analyzer. The
accuracy of the results shall be by orthodox Karl Fischer method.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of material is to be performed by DoD
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite
packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's
packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military
Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military
Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by
contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but
is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The bromochlorodifluoromethane covered by this specification is intended
for use as a fire extinguishing agent.
6.1.1 Military unique rationale. Because bromochlorodifluoromethane is no longer produced,
all requisitions must be for reprocessed material. The reprocessed bromochlorodifluoromethane
covered by this specification is military unique because it is used in military aircraft and the
parameters called out may not be required for use of the product in commercial applications. In
addition, the military specification is used as a basis for the national specification for reprocessed
bromochlorodifluoromethane.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
