8、g procedures.Whitecoveralls are recommended while working with cryogenicoxygen as they will show dirt or oil which may react violentlywith cryogenic oxygen.4.1.2 Wash Bottle,1L made of a material compatible withthe solvent selected for the cleaning procedure,Teflon FEP isgenerally acceptable with th
9、e solvents and fluids used.4.1.3 Solventsmust be selected to meet the performance,safety,cleanliness,and environmental requirements based onstandardized procedures,local and international environmentalregulations,and local procedures.4.1.3.1 Cleaning Solvents for Cryogenic Oxygen SamplingEquipmentSo
10、lvents for use on oxygen sampling equipmentshould be selected in accordance with 5.6.Examples ofsolvents currently used for this purpose include,but are notlimited to:Hydrofluorochlorocarbons,such as Asahiklin AK 225,Hydrofluorocarbons,such as DuPont Vertrel XF or VertrelMCA,Hydrofluoroethers,such a
11、s 3M HFE 7100 or HFE 71DE,Water-based solvents,such as non-ionic detergents.4.1.3.2 Cleaning Solvent for Sampling Equipment Used withother Cryogenic Fluids:Ethyl acetate shall have no more than 1 g/mLresidue afterevaporation,Cyclohexane shall have no more than 1 g/mLresidue afterevaporation,The clea
12、ning solvent will be an azeotrope mixture of ethylacetate and cyclohexane,filtered in accordance with PracticeF311.The mole fraction axeotropic mixture is 0.5286 ethylacetate and 0.4714 cyclohexane.This is prepared by mixing503 mL of ethyl acetate with 497 mL of cyclohexane toproduce 1 L of cleaning
