* 500 pounds
287
TB #145 - (Combustible Metals) Alkali metals are all highly reactive and are never found in elemental forms in nature. Because of this, they are usually stored immersed in _______ oil or kerosene (paraffin oil).
* Mineral oil or kerosene (paraffin oil)
Alkali metals (Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium) are water-reactive under non-fire conditions and should be placarded with the "W" under the NFPA 704 system. Applying water to Alkali metal under any circumstances will result in fire and extreme reactions. Although Alkali metals have many industrial uses, they are not commonly encountered.
288
TB #145 - Metals such as titanium, magnesium, zirconium, and aluminum shall be indicated by an "\_\_\_" in the fourth space of the NFPA placard.

* "W"
Alkali metals are all highly reactive and are never found in elemental forms in nature. Because of this, they are usually stored immersed in mineral oil or kerosene (paraffin oil). Applying water to Alkali metal under any circumstances will result in fire and extreme reactions.
299
TB #145 - Fires involving combustible metals are designated as a class "\_\_\_" fire.
* Class "D"
300
TB #145 - Dry powder extinguishes combustible metal fires by ________ them.
* Smothering
"Copious amounts of water in a coarse stream" can be effective on certain types of combustible metals in small quantities. Magnesium engine blocks, for example, can be eventually extinguished utilizing copious amounts of water. If a fire is burning beyond the incipient stage or is involving a large amount of product, copious amounts of water can be counter productive and can cause increased fire intensity and explosions.
301
TB #145 - (Combustible Metals) Where can you find the Business Plan (BP8) listed?

302
TB #145 - (Combustible Metals) Per the manufacture’s recommendations, a _____ inch layer of MET-L-X is required to effectively smother a fire.
