Table H-12
On this page11
What the table does
It sets the maximum allowable size of a container for a flammable liquid, and the limit depends on the container type as much as on the liquid.
Glass or approved plastic
One pint for Category 1, one quart for Category 2, one gallon for Categories 3 and 4. That is the row most of this catalog lives in.
Metal other than DOT drums
One gallon for Category 1 and five gallons for Categories 2 through 4. Eight times the glass limit at Category 1 and twenty times at Category 2.
Safety cans
Two gallons for Category 1 and five thereafter. A safety can is a specific object with a spring-closing lid and a flame arrester, not a metal bottle.
And the drums and tanks
Sixty gallons for a metal drum to DOT specification and 660 for an approved portable tank. Both are outside anything a container catalog sells.
Read the first row again
"Glass or approved plastic". The word approved is doing work, and (d)(2)(i) says plainly that "only approved containers and portable tanks shall be used".
Which is the limit of what we can tell you
We can give you a material and a capacity. We cannot tell you that a bottle is an approved container for flammable liquid storage, because nothing in our data establishes it. That is a question for the manufacturer and your authority having jurisdiction.
The metal row deemed acceptable
(d)(2)(i) deems metal containers meeting the requirements of 49 CFR chapter I, and containing products authorized by it, to be acceptable. The transport rules do the approving.
And the table is a ceiling, not a permission
Being under the maximum size does not make a storage arrangement compliant. Quantities, cabinets, rooms and distances are all elsewhere in 1910.106, and the fire code sits over the top.
What this means for a shop
If you are putting a Category 1 flammable into anything, the size question is settled before the shape question. A pint is a pint.
