5、his technique may,with caution,serveas an approximation.1.4 The calculations and results of this practice might beused to estimate the relative degree of hazard for experimentaland research quantities of thermally unstable materials forwhich little experience and few data are available.Comparablecal
6、culations and results performed with data developed for wellcharacterized materials in identical equipment,environment,and geometry are key to the ability to estimate relative hazard.1.5 The figures of merit calculated as described in thispractice are intended to be used only as a guide for theestim
