Rocket ammunition with empty projectiles. Rocket ammunition with inert-loaded projectiles. Rocket ammunition with solid projectiles. Starter cartridges, jet engine, class B explosives. Fixed ammunition which is fired from a tube, launcher, rails, trough, or other device as distinguished from cannon ammunition which is fired from a cannon, gun or mortar. It consists of an igniter, a rocket motor, and an empty projectile, inertloaded projectile or solid projectile. Each outside package must be plainly marked "ROCKET AMMUNITION WITH EMPTY PROJEC. TILES", "ROCKET AMMUNITION WITH INERT-LOADED PROJECTILES", or "ROCKET AMMUNITION WITH SOLID PROJECTILES" as appropriate. Starter cartridges, jet engine, consist of plastic or rubber cases, each containing a pressed cylindrical block of propellant explosive and having in the top of the case a small compartment that encloses an electrical squib, small amounts of black powder, and smokeless powder, which constitutes an igniter. It is used to activate a mechanical starter for jet engines. Igniter wires must be shortcircuited when packed for shipment. Each outside package must be plainly marked STARTER CARTRIDGES, JET ENGINE, CLASS B EXPLOSIVES". No label required. Stowage: Cargo vessel " "On deck under cover." "Tween decks readily accessi ble." "Under deck away from heat." Outside containers: Strong wooden or metal containers.

Stowage: sive, fire extinguisher or valve consist of a small metal or fiber housing containing a small amount of initiating explosive and a propellant and are used to actuate valves on remotely controlled fire extinguishers or other apparatus. Do not stow in the same compartment with inflammable liquids, inflammable solids or oxidizing materials, corrosive liquids or inflammable compressed gases. Each outside container must be plainly marked "Actuating Cartridges, Explosive, Fire Extinguisher-Handle Carefully" or "Actuating Cartridges, Explosive, Valve-Handle Carefully". Blasting caps are small tubes, usually made of an alloy of either copper or aluminum, or of molded plastic, closed at one end and loaded with a charge of initiating or priming explosives, Člass A-Type 4, either with or or without other suitable explosives. The total weight of explosives shall not exceed 150 grains. Blasting caps which have been provided with a means for firing by an electric current, and sealed, are known as electric blasting caps. Do not stow blasting caps with any high explosive. Do not handle blasting caps at the same time high explosives are being loaded. Each outside box must be plainly marked with the appropriate descriptive name of the contents as: "(number) Blasting caps-Handle carefully." "(number) Electric blasting caps-Handle carefully." "(number) Blasting caps with safety fuseHandle carefully." "(number) Blasting caps with metal clad mild detonating fuseHandle carefully." In addition each box must bear the marking "Do not store or load with any high explosive." Cargo vessel "On deck under cover." " "Tween decks readily accessible." "Under deck away from heat." Outside containers: Strong wooden boxes, not over 150 lb. gr. wt. Strong fiberboard boxes, not over 65 lb. gr. wt. Stowage: Portable magazines or metal lockers. Outside containers: Wooden boxes: (DOT-14. 15A, 16A) WIC, not over 150 lb. gr. wt. Fiberboard boxes: (DOT-23F, 23H) WIC, not over 75 lb. gr. wt. (DOT-12H) WIC, not over 103 lb. gr. wt. NOTE: Blasting caps in any quantity shall not be stowed in the same magazine with any other explosive or in any locker in which fireworks are stowed. They may be stowed in portable magazines or metal lockers provided such are located in cargo carrying compartments away from all sources of heat and in which no inflammable liquids, inflammable solids or oxidizing materials, corrosive liquids or inflammable compressed gases, are stowed. |
