Product Code:SAE AIR839
Title:Recommended Materials and Practices for Use With Cryogenic Propellants
Issuing Committee:Ae-5 Aerospace Fuel, Oil And Oxidizer Systems Committee
Scope:Liquid propellant fuels and oxidizers are, in general, highly reactive chemicals. Consequently, the propellants and their reaction products possess certain hazardous properties which must be fully understood by all who are required to handle them. This manual is intended as a guide to help establish rules as needed to fit actual cases. The fitting of details into this framework must be left to personnel assigned to specific operations. Accordingly, information on the properties of these materials is given so that hazards will be recognized and understood.
