2.1
Self-accelerating decomposition temperature ;SADT

[GB 21178-2007 ,3.3]
Note: The adiabatic storage test for dangerous goods is used to determine the heating rate of dangerous goods as a function of temperature. The heating parameters obtained together with the heat loss data of the relevant packaging are used to determine the self-accelerating decomposition temperature of dangerous goods in their containers. It is applicable to each type of container, including intermediate bulk containers and tanks.
3 Safety measures
3.1 If the cooling system is turned on when the heating rate exceeds the cooling capacity of the cooling system, the sample may explode. Therefore, the cooling system should be turned on in time and a safe test site should be selected to minimize the possible explosion hazard and the risk of gas explosion (secondary explosion) caused by the decomposition products.
3.2 After the test, the sample should be handled safely and harmlessly as soon as possible. The sample may become more unstable and more sensitive after the test and should be handled with caution.
4 Test Equipment
4.1
The test equipment for the adiabatic storage of dangerous goods consists of a glass Dewar flask (1.0 L or 1.5 L) for the sample, an insulated oven capable of maintaining a temperature difference of ±0.1 °C from the sample, and an inert Dewar flask cover. In special cases, the sample container may be made of other materials. The coil-shaped internal heater and cooling tube made of inert material are inserted into the sample through the flask cover. A 2m long polytetrafluoroethylene capillary is inserted into the insulated flask cover to prevent the pressure in the Dewar flask from rising. The heating power of the internal heater is adjustable and is used to heat the sample to a preset temperature or for calibration. When the sample in the Dewar flask reaches the preset temperature, the internal heating can be automatically stopped or cooling can be started. In addition to the cooling system, the equipment should also be equipped with an auxiliary safety device to cut off the power supply to the oven when the safety temperature limit is exceeded. See Appendix A for a schematic diagram of the adiabatic storage test.
4.2 The sample temperature is measured at the center of the sample using an armored thermocouple or platinum resistance sensor with an accuracy of at least 0.1°C. The ambient temperature in the oven is also measured using a thermocouple or platinum resistance sensor at the same height as the sample temperature point. Continuous temperature measurement and recording equipment is required to monitor the sample temperature and the ambient temperature in the oven. The test equipment should be placed in a separate isolated observation area. For samples with a self-accelerating decomposition temperature lower than the ambient temperature, the test should be carried out in a cooling room or the oven should be cooled with solid carbon dioxide.

The following terms and definitions apply to this document. 2.1
Self-accelerating decomposition temperature; SADT is the lowest ambient temperature at which a substance in a container used for transport may undergo self-accelerating decomposition. [GB211782007, 3.3
Note: The adiabatic storage test for dangerous goods is used to determine the temperature-dependent heating rate of dangerous goods. The heating parameters obtained are used together with the heat loss data of the relevant packaging to determine the self-accelerating decomposition temperature of dangerous goods in their containers. It is applicable to every type of container, including intermediate bulk containers and tanks. 3 Safety measures
3.1 If the cooling system is turned on when the heating rate exceeds the cooling capacity of the cooling system, the sample may explode. Therefore, the cooling system should be turned on in time and a safe test site should be selected to minimize the possible explosion risk and the risk of gas explosion (secondary explosion) caused by the decomposition products.
3.2 After the test, the sample should be handled safely and harmlessly as soon as possible. The sample may become more unstable and sensitive after the test and should be handled with caution.
4 Test Equipment
4.1 The test equipment for adiabatic storage of dangerous goods consists of a glass Dewar flask (1.0L or 1.5L) for holding the sample, an insulated oven capable of maintaining a temperature difference of ±0.1°C from the sample, and an inert Dewar flask cover. In special cases, the sample container may be made of other materials. The coil-shaped internal heater and cooling tube made of inert material are inserted into the sample through the flask cover. A 2m long polytetrafluoroethylene capillary is inserted into the insulated flask cover to prevent the pressure in the Dewar flask from rising. The heating power of the internal heater is adjustable and is used to heat the sample to a preset temperature or for calibration. When the sample in the Dewar flask reaches the preset temperature, the internal heating can be automatically stopped or the cooling can be started. In addition to the cooling system, the equipment should also be equipped with auxiliary safety devices to cut off the power supply to the oven when the safety temperature limit is exceeded. The schematic diagram of the adiabatic storage test is shown in Appendix A.
4.2 The sample temperature is measured at the center of the sample using an armored thermal couple or platinum resistor sensor with an accuracy of at least 0.1°C. Similarly, use a thermocouple or platinum resistance sensor to measure at the same height as the temperature point of the sample to obtain the ambient temperature in the oven. Continuous temperature measurement and recording equipment is required to monitor the sample temperature and the ambient temperature in the oven. The test equipment should be placed in a separate isolated observation area. For samples with a self-accelerating decomposition temperature lower than the ambient temperature, the test should be carried out in a cooling room or the oven should be cooled with solid carbon dioxide. GB/T39090-2020
4.3 The adiabatic storage test of dangerous goods can be carried out in a temperature range of -20℃ to 220℃. The minimum detectable temperature rise rate is equivalent to a heat generation rate of 15mW/kg. The maximum detectable temperature rise rate depends on the ability of the cooling system to safely cool the sample (up to 500W/kg if water is used as a coolant). Although the test is not completely hot, the heat loss is less than 10mW. At a heat generation rate of 15mW/kg, the maximum error is 30%, and at a heat generation rate of 100mW/kg10W/kg, the maximum error is 10%. 5 Test Procedure
5.1 Calibration
The calibration procedure is to determine the heat loss rate and heat capacity of the Dewar flask at various temperature points by heating and cooling the Dewar flask and the inert calibration material of known heat capacity in the flask under the test environment and monitoring the temperature change rate of the calibration material in the Dewar flask. The calibration procedure is as follows: a) The Dewar flask is filled with calibration materials, such as analytical grade sodium chloride and dibutyl phthalate, and placed on the bottle rack of the insulated storage test oven;
b) The calibration material is heated to multiple temperature points at intervals of 20°C, such as 40°C, 60°C, 80°C and 100°C, using an internal heater with an appropriate power (e.g. 0.333W or 1.000W) to obtain the temperature rise rate of the calibration material during internal heating. After the calibration material is heated to the predetermined temperature, the heating is stopped and the temperature change of the calibration material with time is recorded to determine the temperature drop rate of the calibration material and finally determine the heat loss rate at each temperature point;
c) The heat capacity and heat loss of the Dewar flask are determined according to the methods described in 6.2 and 6.3. 5.2 Test
The test procedure is as follows:
a) The weighed sample is placed in the Dewar flask. If the packaging material is metal, a representative amount of packaging material should also be added. The Dewar flask is placed on the bottle rack of the insulated storage test oven; Note: The representative amount of packaging material, that is, the amount of metal packaging material added and the contact area with the contents can reflect the mass ratio and contact area of ​​metal to contents in the actual packaging.
b) Start temperature monitoring and use the internal heater to heat the sample to a preset temperature where self-heating may be detected. The specific heat capacity of the sample can be calculated from the sample temperature rise, heating time and heating power; c) Stop internal heating and monitor the temperature. If no temperature rise due to self-heating of the sample is observed within 24 hours, increase the sample temperature by 5°C and repeat this procedure until self-heating is detected; d) When self-heating of the sample is detected, keep the ambient temperature of the Dewar flask, that is, the oven temperature, consistent with the sample temperature in the Dewar flask, and allow the sample to heat up to a preset temperature under adiabatic conditions where the heat generation rate is less than the cooling capacity. Once the preset temperature is reached, start the cooling system;
e) Measure the mass loss of the sample immediately after cooling and determine the composition change if necessary. The tested sample should be safely destroyed as soon as possible after the test.

6.6 Take the calculated unit mass heat generation rate as a function of temperature, plot each data point in a linear coordinate, and draw a best fit curve through these marked points, i.e., the sample heat generation curve. Determine the unit mass heat loss rate L (see Appendix B) of the sample package (including IBC or tank) in actual transportation, and draw a straight line tangent to the heat generation curve with a slope equal to L. The intersection of this line and the abscissa is the critical ambient temperature, i.e., the highest temperature at which the substance in the package does not self-accelerate decomposition. The self-accelerating decomposition temperature is the critical ambient temperature rounded up to an integer multiple of 5 (°C). See Appendix C for an example of determining the self-accelerating decomposition temperature, and see Appendix D for an example of the results of the adiabatic storage test of dangerous goods. 7 Test report
