(c) Loading Conditions: Must support necessary standard equipment such as ladders, drop tubes, etc. Must be capable of storing liquids with specific gravity of 1.55. Must be capable of being crane lifted when full and transferred from permanent storage site to utilization site. (d) Properties of Stored Material: Tanks will be used to store a liquid oxidizer solution (see MSDS #1338). The tanks will hold the liquid oxidizer solution only and will be stored outside. Sodium perchlorate is the primary raw material used in the liquid oxidizer solution (see MSDS for Sodium Perchlorate Solution for reference). The specific gravity of the liquid oxidizer is 1.55 and it is sunlight sensitive. pH of material to be stored will range from 3.7 to 5.7. The MSDS sheet for liquid oxidizer solution to be stored in the tanks and for reference the MSDS for the raw material component Sodium Perchlorate solution are attached at the end of this Scope. (e) Tank Properties: The tank should not corrode due to storage of the liquid oxidizer solution or due to weather conditions. It must not allow sunlight or ultraviolet penetration.
