Oakum is the fiber of hemp or mixtures of hemp with other fibers and impregnated with pine tar or pitch or other similar substances. Marine oakum is usually made from long, soft pure Aber twisted and is the least hazardous of the various grades of oakum. Plumber's oakum is a mixture of hemp, tow and other fibers. Principal risk of these pbers in an oiled condition is their ready ignition by sparks. Do not stow against bulkheads subject to heat or on deck in open in the rays of the sun. Stow bales in a manner to provide circulation of air and thus reduce chances of heating. Boxes shall be marked either “Oakum” or "Hazardous article." Paper or jabric materials which have been treated with preparations containing linseed or other oxidizing oil and then properly dried. May include painted, oiled, waterproofed or varnished cloth or canvas or paper, etc., manufactured into finished articles. If not completely and properly dried the material is liable to spontaneous healing and ignition. Keep cool. Stow away from all sources of artificial heat. Stow as to permit checking in order to observe any spontaneous heating. Outside containers shall be marked either "Oiled clothing" or "Olled paper" or "Oiled textiles" or "Treated paper" or "Treated textiles" or "Hasardous article." Scrap paper of all descriptions. The hazard of this type of cargo lies in its susceptibility to fire from open flame or sparks. Do not stow in any compartment with corrosive liquids (white label) or oxidizing materials (yellow label). No marking required. Mixtures or proprietary formulations, liquid or solid, which if allowed to absorb moisture, will decompose and give of flammable vapors; therefore, keep dry. Use caution when fighting Are with heavy water stream; personnel use self-contained breathing apparatus. No label re quired. No label required. No label required. "Tween decks." Outside containers: Wooden boxes. Bales. Bales shall be compressed reasonably tight and bound with wire, metal hoops, rattan, горе or withes. Unbaled or unboxed consignments shall not be accepted. Fiberboard boxes. Stowage: "On deck pro tected." "On deck under cover." "Tween decks readily accessible." "Under deck away from heat." Outside containers: Wooden boxes. Fiberboard boxes. Tight rolls-wrapped and sealed with heavy paper. Table K-Classification Descriptive name of article Characteristic properties, cautions, markings required Label re quired Petroleum coke.... A black finely divided residue, in the form of powder and small lumps. Refore loading, temperature tests of the material should be taken at several points in the pile to determine if there is any heating. If the temperature is over 110° F. the shipment should be carefully watched. If the temperature rises to 130° F. or above, the material shall not be accepted for transportation. Remove wooden sweat battens and dun. nage and clean hold of debris before loading bulk shipments. Observe temperatures of cargo during voyage for signs of heating. Do not stow explosives in a hold above. below or adjacent to stowage of this material. Do not stow in same hold or compartment with explosives, inflammable or combustible cargo or oxidizing materials. No label required |
