HAPSITE Smart Plus Operating Manual
The "Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods" is a "Style F83R" from Label
master in Chicago; their phone number is 800 621-5808. They are carbon-less
four-part forms and may be available from local stationary suppliers. The form, and
all its copies, must have red markings along the borders; black and white copies
will not be accepted.
Although the airline will carry the box of canisters in the same cargo hold as the
goods you check as baggage, they will not accept hazardous materials at the
check-in counter. Take the box of canisters with the form filled out to the desk of
your airline at the air freight terminal at your airport. They will be able to accept it
and get it onto the flight.
C.3 Empty Canisters
It is important to remember that it is the pressure of the gas in the canisters which
is considered hazardous. The gases themselves are basically nitrogen, which is a
simple asphyxiant. (The amount of the organic Internal Standards compounds is 50
ppm and 100 ppm).
To discard the canisters, simply discharge them outdoors by inserting any small
point into the valve. Once they are empty, they can be disposed of as aluminum
scrap.
WARNING
When discharging the canisters, point them away from
people and stand upwind of the discharge. Whenever
possible discharge canisters in vent hoods.
If the empty canisters cannot be recycled or disposed, they may be shipped back
to their point of origin for disposal:
Be certain that they are empty (less than 30 psi) then package them in a plain
cardboard box, without any green diamond label. Mark the box as "Empty
Canisters for Destruction". Ship them, prepaid, to
