It is a device\nwhich is used to pre-heat. a cutting torch which is used for underwater rescue,\nand military and law enforcement operations.\nlhe device can best be described as a steel rod, approximately 5/8\" in\ndiameter, which has been bored. An activated iron foil is coiled and pressed\ninto the annulus under an inert atmosphere and the foil is encapsulated\nbeneath a metal seal which is then set in place with epoxy. Above the metal\nseal are two plastic bushings which are pressed into the annulus. To operate the\ndevice, an ultrathermic cutting rod is forced through the bushings and into the\nmetal foil. Pure oxygen is then introduced into the metal foil and the resulting\noxygen/activated iron foil superheats the end of the ultrathermic cutting rod,\nthus igniting the cutting rod. A diagram follows.\nNormally, electricity is used to pre-heat the ultrathermic cutting rod. However,\nthe use of electricity takes time for the rod to pre-heat. By using the \"ignition\ncartridge,\" the operator does not need electricity and can pre-heat the rod\nalmost instantly. This \"ignition cartridge\" is ideal for underwater rescues and for\nclandestine forced entry situations (i.e. hostage rescues). This system eliminates\nthe need for costly explosive entry systems which can cause collateral damage.\nHannis Materis Trinin • Informatin Sustems e ramaline Insertins e. Alinita a Shinina e Panilatan, Saftinm\n\n<<>>\n\nFrom: Steven Charles+lunt To: Ed Mazzullo\nDate: 9/8/97 Time: 9:33:44 AM\nPage 3 of 12\nShipMate\nMy client is naturally concerned about the shipping requirements: The supplier\nof the metal foil is currently declaring the metal foil as a pyrophoric solid. My\nclient then uses the metal foil and manufacturers the final product which, in\noperational tests, does not result in an article which presents any degree of\ndanger during transportation. Further, the devices are sealed in a hermetically\nsealed foil pouch. Additionally, the foil pouch is sealed in an atmosphere of\nnitrogen.\n•\nEssentially, my question is this:\nIf a hazardous material is used in a manufactured article in such a way that the\nresulting finished product does not present a hazard in transportation and does\nnot meet the criteria for a hazardous material, hazardous substance, hazardous\nwaste or marine pollutant, as defined in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,\nsubchapter C, would the finished article be regulated as a hazardous material?\nPractical tests have shown that, in normal atmospheres, the temperature of the\ndevice increases approximately 10-15 °F over ambient when the metal seal is\npunctured. It is unlikely, even in enriched atmospheres, that the resulting\ntemperature rise would cause this device to be classified as a Division 4.2\nhazardous material.\nYour written opinion is of great interest to my client as he would, naturally, like to\ntransport the material. He currently has a number of purchase orders from\nvarious governmental law enforcement agencies, but he is unable to fulfill them\nbecause of the present issue which is interpretive in nature. We respectfully\nrequest your written opinion. If necessary, my client is prepared and willing to file\nany exemption or Competent Authority Approvals may be necessary to offer this\ndevice into transportation.\nYour immediate review. and response would be most appreciated.\nWe look\nforward to your favorable response.\nRespectfully,\nSteven Charles Hunt\nShipMate, Inc.\ncc: Mr. Tom Joos\nHazardous Materials Training • Information Systems • Compliance Inspections & Audits • Shippina & Realaton Software\n\n<<>>\n\nFrom: Steven Charles-Hunt To: Lid Miazzuilo\nDatü: S/cvs; Time: 9:33:44 AM\nPage 4 of 12\n•\n•\nShipMate\nFigure 1\nSchematic of Igniter Cartridge (not to scale)\nBUSHING\nBUSHING\nMETAL FOLL\nEPOXY FILLET\nACTIVATED IRON FOLL\nACTIVATED IRON UNCOLED\nHERMETICALLY SEALED AND COILED\n•\nHazardous Materin Trainin• Information Systems • Ramnline Insertins & Audits a Shinning & Renaton, Software\n\n<<>>\n\nFrom: Steven Charles Hurt, To: Ed Mazcullo\nDate: 9/8/97\nSENT BY BROCO INC\nTime: 9:33:-\n: 9-8-9718:5844\n8094833233*\nSHIPMATE INC# 2\nPage 5 of 12\n'\nFacsimile\nCover Sheet\nJoine Operators Group\nLouisgo, KY 40316\n5749 Briar Hill Read\nTel 606.397.4236\nТак 606.293.3590\nDato: Saptember 8, 1997\nMausago No.\nTo: Tom Jose\nPhone # 900-423-1222 | Locationitest\nOrganization: Broco ine.\nFax# 908-483-3223\nFrom: Bruce Lawrence\nSubstrate Admia.\nMassage:\nContenta: Total Mages Tranamited _\n- Induding Cover Page\nSYSTEMS.
