According to my 2004 edition of the Emergency Response Guidebook
Calcium Carbide is specifically 1402

Here's a list of UN
numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:UN_numbers. As
Ediger said, calcium carbide is specifically 1402, so nothing else
should bear that label. UN numbers are for
IMO stored and sold carbide (probably illegally) for over 20 years. In all that time, I
never saw a carrier placarded for carbide (UN1402 Dangerous when wet), other than
the trucks that brought it to me, and took it away.
Last week I saw my very first carbide-placarded tandem-trailer rig
Aman in a rural Dutch village would be readily able to get liquid oxygen since it is used in sterilizing dairies slaughterhouses, esp. in the EU..

Mark,
Check out some youtube videos of Dutch carbide shooting and see if you still
think these people couldn't--or wouldn't--play with liquid oxygen. I hope we
never go to war with the Netherlands. Intercontinental ballistic soccerballs?
Here's a good one:

Is that true? Seems like it would be an incredible fire

The Dutch obviously take their carbide
These cylinders contain Acetylene under pressure, are painted black, ( small
B and MC tanks can be gray, silver or red ) made of steel and have cylinder
valves. They range in size from 10 to almost 400 cuft capacity. The cylinders
contain a porous filler material which is wetted with acetone
Acetylene’s flammability is its essential value to the welding industry. But it
also creates safe handling concerns. To stabilize the acetylene and reduce the
potential for “flashback” ignition of the tank, acetylene cylinders are fitted
with a solid binding medium containing as much as six

This may be true, but there are so many errors in the
synopsis that I have my doubts. Calcium carbide is CaC2, not CaCb,
and the gas it forms is acetylene, not ethylene. And where did
Yeah - I forgot to pick up liquid oxygen when I went down to HEB!
Thanks for the reminder!
