Melting point: 119 C. Molten sulphur may contain hydrogen sulphide, ° which is highly poisonous in low concentrations. When involved in a fire, evolves toxic, very irritating and suffocating gas. Forms explosive and extremely sensitive mixtures with oxidizing substances. Shipped molten above its melting point.
These portable tank instructions apply to liquid and solid substances of class 1 and classes 3 to 9. The general provisions of section 4.2.1 and the requirements of section 6.7.2 shall be met. The instructions for portable tanks with FRP shells apply to substances of classes or divisions 1, 3, 5.1, 6.1, 6.2, 8 and 9. Additionally, the provisions of chapter 6.10 apply to the portable tanks with FRP shells.
