APPLICATION a. These criteria establish quantity-distances, storage compatibility groupings, and high explosives equivalencies for liquid propellants. They apply to all types of liquid propellant storage facilities (including missiles, rockets, and multicompartment tanks in which both liquid fuels and liquid oxidizers are stored). b. Hazard classifications and storage compatibility groupings for liquid propellants that are not listed will be obtained from the Safety Division, Administrative Office, Headquarters, AMC. 1502. DEFINITIONS a. Compatible propellants. Propellants that may be mixed together without increasing the hazard. See compatibility groupings, table 1501. b. Compatible storage. The storing together of compatible propellants. See compatibility groupings, table 1501. c. Hypergolic. The term used to describe the self-ignition of certain fuels and oxidizers upon contact with each other. d. Launch pads. The load-bearing base, apron, or platform upon which the rocket, missile, orspace vehicle and its launcher rest during launching. e. Nitrogen padding (or blanket). Filling the void or ullage of a closed container with nitrogen gas to prevent oxidation of the chemical therein, and to avoid formation of a flammable atmosphere above the liquid. Nitrogen padding (or blanket) also means maintaining a nitrogen atmosphere in or around an operation, piece of equipment, etc. /. Liquid propellants. Those liquid and gaseous substances (as listed in table 1501) used for propulsion or operation of missiles, rockets, or related devices. g. Protected. As used in this section, “protected” means that terrain or an effective artificial barrier is interposed to prevent fragments from a propellant facility from endangering inhabited buildings and other exposures. h. High explosive equivalent or explosive equivalent. The amount of high explosive which if detonated will produce damage comparable to that which is expected upon the detonation or explosion of a given amount of the propellant concerned under similar conditions. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the propellant weight, and for the purposes of this section TNT is used as the comparison standard. For specificexplosive equivalents of propellant combinations, use table 1505. 1503. DETERMINATION OF PROPELLANT QUANTITY a. For quantity-distance purposes, the net weight of propellant in a tank, drum, cylinder, or other container will be used. If individual storage containers, or groups of storage containers, are not separated from each other by a minimum of magazine distance, the quantities of propellant therein must be added together for quantity-dis-tance purposes. The quantity of propellant in associated piping (to the point (s) where positive means is provided for interrupting the flow through the pipe in event of an incident) must be included in the net weight of propellant in a storage container. ft. Where fuels are not separated from oxidizers by distances prescribed in tables 1502, 1503, and 1504, or provisions for preventing their mixing are not available, the combined quantity of the two must be used with appropriate H.E. equivalency (table 1505) to determine the quan-tity-distances (table 1506). c. Table 1507 lists conversion factors (gallons to pounds) for the various liquid propellants.1504. MEASUREMENT OF SEPARATION DISTANCES а. Separation distances will be measured from the nearest hazard source (containers, buildings, or positive cutoff point in piping, whichever is controlling). б. If a building contains a small number of drums or cylinders, or if quantities of propellant in the building are effectively subdivided, distances may be measured from the nearest container or controlling subdivision. 1505. QUANTITY-DISTANCE CONSIDERATIONS а. Quantity-distance criteria in this section ara based on the premise that materials of construction will be compatible with propellants to which they may be exposed; design will take into account the properties of the propellant; required fire protection and drainage controls will be provided; and other special controls (e.g., nitrogen padding, tank cooling, etc.) will be provided when required. б. If groups I, II, and III propellants are contaminated, tables 1502, 1503, and 1504 are not applicable. In such cases, group IV quantity-distance requirements will apply except where use of other criteria is specifically approved by the Safety Division, Administrative Office, Headquarters, AMC.c. The Handling and Storage of Liquid Propellants, January 1963, published by Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering, Washington, D.C. (available from Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402), contains information of the various characteristics of liquid propellants. Standing operating procedures for the storing and handling of specific liquid propellants will take into account these characteristics. 1506. HAZARD GROUPINGS Liquid propellants constitute various types and degrees of hazards. Based on these hazards, the following propellant groupings are established. a. Group I. Materials in this group are considered to be the least hazardous. They have a fire hazard potential and require separation distance as specified in table 1502. When group I materials are stored with more hazardous materials, under conditions described , in paragraph 1507, tables 1505 and 1506 will be used to determine quantity-distance requirements. b. Group II. Materials in this group are strong oxidizers. Serious fires may result when they come in contact with materials such as organic matter (which is difficult to exclude). Table 1503 specifies quantity limitations and minimum distance requirements for this group. When group II materials are stored with more hazardous ma-terials, under conditions described in paragraph 1507, tables 1505 and 1506 will be used to determine quantity-distance requirements. c. Group III. Hazards with this group are primarily from pressure rupture of the storage container, deflagration, and vapor-phase explosions. Hazardous fragmentation of the container, its protective structure, or other nearby material may be produced by pressure rupture of the storage container or a vapor-phase explosion. Table 1504 specifies quantity limitations and minimum distance requirements for this group. When group III materials are stored with more hazardous materials, under conditions described in paragraph 1507, tables 1505 and 1506 will be used to determine quantity-distance requirements. d. Group IV. The hazards from materials in this group are the same as for mass-detonating explosives (e.g., airblast overpressures and fragments from the containers and surrounding equipment and material). Table 1506 will be used to determine quantity-distance requirements. 1507. HAZARDS Aside from the fact that the propellants differ from each other, as explained for the above groups, the predominant hazard of the individual propellant can vary depending upon the location of the propellant storage and the operation (s) in-volved. In order of decreasing hazard, these conditions are— a. Range launch pads. Activities at range launch pads include research, development, testing, The close proximity of fuel to oxidizer, the frequency of launchings, and the possibility of fall-back (with resultant dynamic mixing on impact) make operations at these facilities very hazardous. Explosives equivalents (table 1505) must be used to determine quantity-distances (table 1506). b. Operational launch pads. Except for being less frequent, activities at operational launch pads are similar to those at range launch pads. Operations at these launch pads are defense or combat-type operations and can well be one-time events. Except as provided in paragraph 1508, explosives equivalents (table 1505) must be used to determine quantity-distances (table 1506). When an operational launch pad is used for training launches, it will be considered a range launch pad. c. Static test stands. Although these can involve experimental operations, the units remain static and are subject to better control than dynamic ones. Except where run tankage for fuel and oxidizer are mounted one above the other, it is possible to separate the tankage to reduce the hazard over that for a rocket or missile on a launch pad. Except as provided in paragraph1508, explosives equivalents (table 1505) must be used to determine quantity-distance (table 1506). d. Ready storage. Ready storage may be located a minimum of intraline distance from launch and static test stands, based on the propellant requiring the greater distance. Normally, propellant from ready storage is not fed directly into an engine, as is the case with run tankage. (See h below.) H.E. equivalents (table 1505) must be used for propellants, in ready storage if the facility design does not guarantee against fuel and oxidizer mixing and against detonation propagation to, or initiation at, the ready storage facility when a mishap occurs at the test stand or launch pad. If prevention of detonation of ready storage is assured, quantity-distances will be based on the prevailing fire or fragment hazards (tables 1502, 1503, or 1504). e. Cold-flow test operations. Fire and fragment hazards (tables 1502, 1503, and 1504) govern if the design is such that the system is closed (except for approved venting) ; is completely airtight; fuel and oxidizer are never employed concurrently and each has a completely separate isolated system, and fittings are of such types that intermixing is impossible; and the propellants are of required purity. Otherwise, H.E. equivalents (table 1505) must be used to determine quantity-distances (table 1506).Table 1501.

Consult applicable regulations, and, if necessary, other authorities or publications for determination of toxic siting criteria. 2 All propellants in a compatibility group are considered compatible. Groupings are not to be confused with ammunition and explosives compatibility groupings with like letters. 3 Under certain conditions, this propellant can detonate. However, its sensitivity to detonation is no greater than that of a standard energetic double base solid propellant under the same conditions.Table 1501.

Bulk storage. This is the most remote storage with respect to launch and test operations, never being directly connected to any of them. It consists of the area, tanks, and other containers therein, used to hold propellant for supplying ready storage and, indirectly, run tankage where no ready storage is available. Individual bulk storage facilities must be separated from each other and from unrelated exposures in accordance with tables 1502, 1503, 1504, and 1506. If positive measures are not taken to prevent mixing of groups I, II, or III fuels and oxidizers, TNT equivalents (table 1505) must be used to determine quantity-distances (table 1506). g. Rest storage. This is a temporary type storage and most closely resembles bulk storage. Barges, trailers, tank cars, and portable hold-tanks (used for topping operations) may be usedas rest storage facilities. Fire and fragment hazards (tables 1502, 1503, and 1504) govern. The transporter becomes a part of that storage to which it is connected during propellant transfer. h. Run tankage (operating tankage). Run tankage (operating tankage) consists of the tank and/or other containers and associated piping used to hold the propellants for direct feeding into the engine or device during operation. (See c above.) i. Pipelines. Pipelines used for the transfer of propellants between unloading points and storage areas or between storage area and points of use. A distance of 25 feet free of inhabited buildings will be maintained on either side of pipelines used for the transfer of group II and III propellants. 1508. INCOMPATIBLE STORAGE Except where they are effectively subdivided by intervening barriers or where other positive means for preventing mixing is provided, separation distance between propellants of different compatibility groups will be the inhabited building distance for the propellant quantity and group which requires the greater distance. Where prevention of mixing is assured, incompatible storages will be separated from each other by intragroup distance. If different hazard classes are involved, the class requiring the greater distance will be controlling.1509. COMPATIBLE STORAGE Compatible storages of propellants of different hazard groups will be separated by the greater intragroup storage distance.Pounds of propellant Inhabited buildings, railroads, highways, and incompatible group I storage— Distance in feet Intragroup, intraline, and compatible group I storage—** Distance in feet Pounds of propellant Inhabited buildings, railroads, highways, and incompatible group I storage— Distance in feet Intragroup, intraline, and compatible group I storage—* Distance in feet Over Not over Over Not over Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 100* 30 25 5,000 6,000 80 60 100 200* 35 30 6,000 7,000 85 65 200 300* 40 35 7,000 8,000 85 65 300 400* 45 35 8,000 9,000 90 70 400 ; 500* 50 40 9,000 10,000 90 70 500 600 50 40 10,000 15,000 95 75 600 700 55 40 15,000 20,000 100 80 700 800 55 45 20,000 25,000 105 80 800 900 60 45 25,000 30,000 110 85 900 1,000 60 45 30,000 35,000 110 85 1,000 2,000 65 50 35,000 40,000 115 85 2,000 3,000 70 55 40,000 45,000 120 90 3,000 4,000 75 55 45,000 50,000 120 90 4,000 5,000 80 60 50,000 60,000 125 9515-14 AG0 75100 Pounds of propellant Inhabited buildings, i railroads, highways, j and incompatible: jrroup I storage— Distance in feet Intragroup, Intraline, and compatible group I storage—** Distance in feet Pounds of propellant Inhabited buildings, railroads, highways, and incompatible group I storage— Distance in feet Intragroup, Intraline, and compatible group I storage— Distance in feet Over Not over Over Not over Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 60,000 70,000 130 95 500,000 600,000 185 140 70,000 80,000 130 100 600,000 700,000 190 145 80,000 90,000 135 100 700,000 800,000 195 150 90,000 100,000 135 105 800,000 900,000 200 150 100,000 125,000 140 110 900,000 1,000,000 205 155 125,000 150,000 145 110 1,000,000 2,000,000 235 175 150,000 175,000 150 115 2,000,000 3,000,000 255 190 175,000 200,000 155 115 3,000,000 4,000,000 265 200 200,000 250,000 160 120 4,000,000 5,000,000 275 210 250,000 300,000 165 125 5,000,000 6,000,000 285 215 300,000 350,000 170 130 6,000,000 7,000,000 295 220 350,000 400,000 175 130 7,000,000 8,000,000 300 225 400,000 450,000 180 | 135 8,000,000 9,000,000 305 230 AMCR 385-224AGO 7510C 15-15 450,000 500,000 180 135 9,000,000 10,000,000 310 235 * A single standard minimum-size shipping container such as one 55-gallon drum, one 500-pound (net weight) cylinder, etc., may be handled or stored without regard to distances prescribed, subject to specific approval by Safety Division, Administrative Office, Headquarters, AMC. ** See paragraphs 1508 and 1509.
