Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
"Aircraft" means any device used or designed to carry humans in
				flight as defined in 92 Ill. Adm. Code 14. All devices required to be licensed
				as "aircraft" by the Federal Aviation Administration are "aircraft".
"Airport" means any area of land, water or both, except a
				restricted land area, which is designed for the landing and take-off of
				aircraft, regardless of whether buildings are provided for the shelter,
				servicing, or repair of aircraft or for receiving or discharging passengers or
				cargo, and all appurtenant areas used or suitable for aircraft, or other
				airport buildings, and all appurtenant rights of way, whether heretofore or
				hereafter established.
"A.P.I." means American Petroleum Institute.
"ASTM" means American Society for Testing and Materials.
"Aviation Fuel" means any petroleum or alcohol based liquid
				used in aircraft engines.
"Bulk storage" means the storage of flammable or combustible
				liquid in an aboveground tank that is not for dispensing purposes. If an
				aboveground tank is used for any bulk storage purposes, it is classified as a
				"bulk storage tank" for the remainder of the calendar year in which it was so
				used.
"Combustible liquid" means a liquid having a flash point at or
				above 100° F. Combustible liquids shall be subdivided as follows:
Class II liquids shall include those having flash points at or
				above 100° F and below 140° F;
Class IIIA liquids shall include those having flash points at
				or above 140° F and below 200° F; and
Class IIIB liquids shall include those having flash points at
				or above 200° F.
"Container" means any vessel of 60 U.S. gal. or less capacity
				used for transporting or storing liquids.
"Dispensing", for the purposes of Part 180, means the activity
				of transferring a flammable or combustible liquid from an aboveground storage
				tank to a vehicle, mobile equipment, engine or motor for use as fuel by them;
				"dispensing" also includes such transference into a receptacle.
"Division" means Illinois Department of Transportation,
				Division of Aeronautics.
"Facility" means any location or site within a single perimeter
				(including all contiguous land and structures, and other appurtenances and
				improvements) where there is storage of flammable or combustible
				liquids.
"Flammable liquid" means a liquid having a flash point below
				100° F and having a vapor pressure not exceeding 40 lbs. per sq. in.
				(absolute) at 100° F. Any flammable liquid shall be known as a Class I
				liquid; Class I liquids shall be subdivided as follows:
Class IA shall include those having flash points below 73°
				F and having a boiling point below 100° F;
Class IB shall include those having flash points below 73°
				F and having a boiling point at or above 100° F; and
Class IC shall include those having flash points at or above
				73° F and below 100° F.
"Flash point" means the minimum temperature at which a liquid
				gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an ignitible mixture with
				air near the surface of a liquid within the vessel, as specified by test
				procedure and apparatus as follows:
The flash point of a liquid having a viscosity less than 45
				Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) at 100° F and a flash point below 200°
				F shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 56-87 (Standard Method of Test
				for Flash Point by the Tag Closed Tester) (1987);
The flash point of a liquid having a viscosity of 45 SUS or
				more at 100° F or a flash point of 200° F or higher shall be determined
				in accordance with ASTM D 93-85 (Standard Method of Test for Flash Point by the
				Pensky-Martens Closed Tester) (1985);
As an alternate, ASTM D 3828-87E1 (Test Method for Flashpoint
				by Setaflash Closed Tester) (1987) may be used for testing aviation turbine
				fuels within the scope of this procedure;
As an alternate, ASTM D 3278-87E1 (Test Method for Flash Point
				of Liquids by Setaflash Closed-Cup Apparatus) (1987) may be used for paints,
				enamels, lacquers, varnishes, and related products and their components having
				flash points between 32° F and 230° F, and having a viscosity lower
				than 150 stokes at 77° F; or
As an alternative, ASTM D 3828-87E1 (Test Method for Flashpoint
				by Setaflash Closed Tester) (1987) may be used for materials other than those
				for which specific Setaflash Methods exist (cf., ASTM D3278-87E1 (Test Method
				for Flash Point of Liquids by Setaflash Closed-Cup Apparatus) (1987) for
				paints, enamels, lacquers, varnishes, related products and their
				components).
"Liquid" means material which has a fluidity greater than that
				of 300 penetration asphalt when tested in accordance with ASTM D-5-86 (Test for
				Prevention for Bituminous Materials) (1986). When not otherwise identified, the
				term "liquid" shall mean both flammable and combustible liquids.
"NFPA" means National Fire Protection Association.
"U.L." means Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
