ADR special provision 583
Covers LPG-type mixtures A, A01, A02, A0, A1, B1, B2, B and C, defined by vapour pressure at 70 °C and density at 50 °C.
Among other things the entry covers hydrocarbon gas mixtures graded by maximum vapour pressure at 70 °C and minimum density at 50 °C, from Mixture A (1.1 MPa, 0.525 kg/l) up to Mixture C (3.1 MPa, 0.440 kg/l). Mixtures A, A01, A02 and A0 may alternatively be named "Butane" and Mixture C "Propane" as the technical name for 5.4.1.1. A footnote restricts the trade names Butane or Propane in tank carriage to use as a complement only.
| Value | Applies when |
|---|---|
| 1.1 / 0.525 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture A |
| 1.6 / 0.516 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture A01 |
| 1.6 / 0.505 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture A02 |
| 1.6 / 0.495 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture A0 |
| 2.1 / 0.485 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture A1 |
| 2.6 / 0.474 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture B1 |
| 2.6 / 0.463 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture B2 |
| 2.6 / 0.450 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture B |
| 3.1 / 0.440 MPa at 70 °C max / kg/l at 50 °C min | Mixture C |
Note. The table is scrambled in the extracted text: pressures and densities print in separate column runs and were paired in row order (A to C). The footnote on tank carriage is cut off at the page edge after "as a complement"; verify against the printed page before relying on its full wording.
