Standard Specification for 2-Bromo-3,3,3-Trifluoro-1-Propene (CF<inf>3</inf>CBr=CH<inf >2</inf>)

ABSTRACT
This specification applies to 2-Bromo-3, 3,3-Trifluoro-1-Propene (“2-BTP”) as a fire-fighting medium. It does not address the fire-fighting equipment or hardware that employs 2-BTP or the conditions of employing such equipment (for example, handhelds, fixed installations, etc.). The storage or transportation of 2-BTP is also not covered.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for 2-Bromo-3,3,3-Trifluoro-1-Propene (“2-BTP”) as a fire-fighting medium.  
1.2 This specification does not address the fire-fighting equipment or hardware that employs 2-BTP or the conditions of employing such equipment (for example, handhelds, fixed installations, etc.).  
1.3 This specification does not address the storage or transportation of 2-BTP. Storage, handling, and transportation issues are addressed in Practice D8061.  
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 6, of this specification:  
1.5.1 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 4.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
