Dear Mr. Mhemedi:
This is in response to your August 15, 2000 letter and subsequent telephone conversation with Mr. Charles Hochman of the Office of Hazardous Materials Technology, requesting clarification on the packaging requirements for pyrophoric liquids under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-,180).. Specifically, you have asked if your packaging configuration meets the requirements contained in § 173.181 (b).
You correctly stated that § 173.181(b) requires "inner receptacles having positive screwcap closures adequately gasketed." Based on our review of your design, we agree that the plug and retainer used to secure the burst diaphragms meet the screwcap closure requirement and the 300 psig burst diaphragms meet the adequately gasketed requirement in § 173.181(b).
I trust this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
