Such equivalents follow ANSVIEEE Std. 268, American National Standard Metric Practice [1] guidelines with regard to conversion procedures including use of unt names and symbols. 1.3. Multipliers and metric prefixes Multiplication factors for converting the numerical values of the customary units of measure used in this pam- Dhlet to those expressed in metric units are presented in table 1-1, Each factor is followed by the letter E (ex- Ponent), a plus or minus symbol, and two digits which indicate the power of 10 by which the number must be multiplied to obtain the correct value. An asterisk (*) after the sixth decimal place indicates that the conversion factor shown is exact. The prefixes and symbols shown in table 1-2 are used to form names and symbols for the decimal multiplies and submultiples of the metric units, except for the kilogram. 2 Scope and purpose 24 Scope ‘The information in this pamphlet is intended for use by ammonia shippers, carriers, distributors, consumers. equipment designers or installers, safety administrators and others desiring introductory knowledge of the suo- Ject, Anyone requiring more detalled or specialized information should consult with an ammonia supplier. 22 Purpose ‘The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide information regarding properties, production, shipping, storage, han- ling, and use of ammonia.

The relationship of vapor pressure to temperature is shown in figures 6-1 and 62. 64.2 Liquid ammonia is lighter than water, having a density of 38.00 pounds per cubic foot (608.7 kgim’) at 70 °F (21.4 °C), As a gas, ammonia is lighter than air, having a relative density of 0.5970 compares to alr ata pres- ‘sure of one almosphere and a temperature of 32 (0 °C). Under the later conditions, one pound (0.4536 kg) of ‘ammonia gas occupies a volume of 20.78 cubic feet (0.5884 mm’). These and other physical properties of amn- ‘monia are listed in table 6-1 64.3 Data for the physical and thermodynamic properties of ammonia presented in this pamphlet are based upon a Selected group of authoritative sources believed to be accurate and sound to the best knowledge of the Com pressed Gas Association, Inc. No legal responsibil is assumed by CGA for any losses of liabilties incurred by Persons oF organizations acting in any way on the basis of the data and ather information set forth herein. Data given represent the properties of specially purified ammonia rather than those of grades available In usual industrial trade, Some variations between data may be noted depending upon the source referenced, 614 For many years the standard reference data for ammonia have been those contained in the U.S. National Bu- reau of Standards Circular No. 142, Table of Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonia, published in 1923. Pres- sure-temperature data for vapor and liquid ammonia presented in this NBS publication, (now out of print), were in foot-pound-Fahrenheit units only and were measured over a temperature range from the triple point to 271.4 *F (133 °C) and at various pressures to 1657 Iblin’ (abs) (11.4 MPa), Data given in 6.1.1, 6.1.2, table 6-1, and table 6-2 are generally based upon this NBS publication [21] 615 Thermodynamic data for saturated liquid and vapor presented in table 6-3 are from the work of Davies published in Thermodynamic Functions of Gases, F. Din, Ed,, Vol. 1, p89, 1962 [22] and [23}. 61.6 ‘The graphs depicted in figures 6-1 and 6-2 give pressure-temperature relationships for vapor an liquid ammo nia. Graphs in figures 6-3 and 6-4 show density-temperature relationships for liquid ammonia, These correla tions are based upon work by Haar and Gallagher published in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Refer- ‘ence Data, Vol. 7, No. 3, pp635-792, 1978, Thermodynamic Properties of Ammonia. In this work data are measured over a temperature range from the triple point to 760 kelvins [908 *F (487 “C)] and at various pres- ‘sures to 5000 bar [72 519 Ib/n’ (500 MPal].

They aiso conclude that data of recent origin are not necessarily of greater accuracy or better quality than data obtained from the works of eatiler researchers. The Hear and Gallagher paper contains an extensive list of reference sources and includes detailed data error analyses and comprehensive discus sions of data comparisons with correlations found in research works by others [23]. 62 Chemical properties 624 ‘Ammonia is a stable compound. It begins dissociating into nitrogen and hydrogen at approximately 850, °F (454 °C). In the presence of a suitable catalyst, dissociation takes place rapidly and is complete at 1700 °F (027°C), 622 Experiments conducted by the Underwriters’ Laboratories have shown that ammonia has an ignition temperature in air of 1560 °F (849 °C). In the presence of an iron catalyst, the ignition temperature is reduced to 1200 "F (649 °C). These ignition temperature values are greater than those for typical hydrecarbon liquids (toda *F-450 °F (562 °C- 232 °C)) and liquefied petroleum gases (1000 °F- 400 °F (538 °C - 204 *C}) [24] and (28), 623 ‘Ammonia vapor is flammable over a narrow range of 16% to 25% by volume in ar. These flammable limits are higher than those found for hydrocarbon liquids which typically range from about 1% to 8%; or for liquefied petroleum gases which generally range from approximately 2% 10 12% by volume in alr (26 and (25), 624 The minimum ignition energy for ammonia has been measured at 645 Btu (680 MJ). This amount of energy is ‘uch greater than that found for n-hexane (0.38 Btu [0.4 mu]) or for n-heptane (0.28 Btu [0.3 mu]}. 645 Btu (680 MJ) is greater than the energy available from an electric motor spark, and is at least ten times the spark ‘energy used in automotive test engines. However, an open flame, an exposed hot filament of a broken light bulb, or an electric arc from a power switch will provide sufficient energy and temperature to ignite ammonia \vapor when in the flammable range (27] and [25] 625 Heat generated by the combustion of ammonia is low, being approximately half of values for common flammable liquids which range from 16 000 to 21 000 Btu [16.9 Mi to 22.2 Mu) [27] and [25}. 626 ‘Ammonia released from containment presents a potential for combustion explosion and fre hazards. However, its high lower limit of flammabilty, high ignition energy, low flame propagation velocity, and low heat of combustion substantially minimize these hazards. Released outdoors, its dificult for ammonia to reach its lower fiam- ‘mabilty mit except for small zones in the immediate vicinity of the leak. Even when large quantities of liquid are released, igntable concentrations tend to be in discontinuous pockets. Coupled with its low heat of combustion and low fiame velocity, the possibilty of sustained ignition is reduced. The most likely result of an un- Confined ammonia release is an unignited vapor cloud. Experience incicates that similar circumstances apply when ammonia is released indoors in reasonably well-ventilated bullings. In confined spaces, such as refnige erated process or storage areas, however, the release of liquid or large quantities of vapor can result in the ‘accumulation of a flammable mixture with potential for a combustion explosion with attendant major structural damage. Persons responding to an ammonia release under any conditions should be aware of the physioiog cal hazards and utiize such safety equipment and protective clothing as may be necessary and appropriate See 9 and 10 [28] and (27), ‘This document scented forthe sole use of Florence wy Lee an expres on 12/2/2007 (62300). may not be shared wth anyother person or used ate the ‘expiration date witout he express writen permission fhe CGA Ary unauthorized ue, eproducton, ton, a moateation e ths pred page wil esut ina $5,000 hquidsted damages fee plus loss of access to CGA publeatons fr one yea or your company. 20011202 CPU-PCatFSCER4F TESDAONETSLicenses for the sole use of Florence wy Lee and expires on 1212/2007 ($2309).

Such materials are: Susceptible to ammonia stress corrosion cracking (SCC). High tensile strength stee!s (quenched and tempered [Q&T] steels, for example) and coarse-grained materials are at greater risk of SCC than are more moderate strength or fine-grained steels. However, there is no known threshold value of strength below which SCC will Not occur. Postweld heat treatment of a new or weld-repaired container and the minimization of oxygen (ai) Contamination in the container are of benefit in substantially reducing the incidence of SCC. A water content of atleast 0.2 percent by weight in ammonia will serve to effectively inhibit SCC of the container surface in contact with the ammonia liquid phase. Such inhibitive effect will not be realized in the container vapor space and may ‘Rot occur in the thin meniscus zone between the liquid and vapor phases due to the process of ammonia vapor Condensation. Depending upon an evaluation ofthe risk of SCC, procedures should be established to subject a Container to one or more inspection methods performed on an appropriate periodic basis to detect cracks likely to impair product retention integrity.

Urea is an organic compound formed by combining ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, ‘ammonium phosphate and urea are used for direct application to the soil In dry or lquid form and in combina tion with other phosphate and potassium salts. 78 In addition to their use as ferilizers, ammonia and urea are used as a source of protein in ruminant livestock feeds. Urea is used in mixed feed supplements to supply the nitrogen needed for the biosynthesis of proteins in animals such as cattle, sheep and goats, 78 ‘Ammonia is oxidized to produce nitric acid, the principal ammonia derivative used in making explosives. Both industrial and miltary explosives are divided into two main types: high explosives such as dynamite, nitroglyo- ‘erin and TNT which detonate rapidly to give a shattering biast for demolition purposes; and low explosives such 28 nitrocellulose which detonate siowly to give a heaving/pushing effect for propellant or blasting applications. Dynamite, a general term for high explosives used in mining and construction, contains nitroglycerin, or other ‘organic nitrogen compounds absorbed in inert or combustible materials, In ammonia dynamites, ammonium nitrate replaces some of the nitroglycerin. Blasting gelatin dynamites consist of a colloidal mixture of nitrogly- €erin and nitrocelivose, The later is made by treating cellulose with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids 1 ‘Ammonium nitrate is the principal base materia in slurry explosives and lower cost blasting agents.
