Ripple Tank Replacement Set
WA-9898
012-09975B
Introduction
PASCO model WA-9898 consists of replacement parts for the
WA-9897 Ripple Tank and the WA -9896 Ripple Generator and
Light Source. The list of parts is on the next page.
Note that the short foam beaches are mounted on the sides adjacent to the drain hole.
The parts include barriers and refractors, foam rubber beaches, a
pipette, and a plastic bottle for use with the Ripple Tank, and dippers, adapters, actuators, and a plane wave dipper for use with the
Ripple Generator.
Instructions
The foam rubber beaches on the WA-9897 Ripple Tank are
attached to the glass plate of the tank with double-sided sticky
tape. The foam beaches in this replacement set have the same
type of tape. After you remove the foam beach from the glass
plate, scrape off any remaining foam and tape if possible before
putting on the replacement foam beach.

2. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Color: Clear
Physical St at e: Liquid
Odor: Mild
Hazards of product:
No significant immediate hazards for emergency response are known.
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
This product is a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29
CFR 1910.1200.
Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact:
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Material may be
handled at elevated temperatures; contact with heated material may cause thermal burns.
Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; single exposure is
not likely to be hazardous. Vapor from heated material or mist may cause respiratory irritation.
May cause slight temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely.

Product Name: TERGITOL(TM) L-62 Issue Date: 01/26/2006
Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal
handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause
injury.
Effects of Repeated Exposure: For similar mater ial(s): In ani mals, effects have been reported on the
following organs after exposure to aerosols: Lung.
3. Composition Information
Component CAS # Amount
Polyalkylene glycol 9003-11-6 <= 99.0 %
4. First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
Notes to Physician: If burn is present , treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific
antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition of the patient.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC
type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function,
but will be less effective.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water
spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has
passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose
holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound
from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May
spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be
moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected
location or safe distance.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Absorb
with materials such as: Sand. Dirt. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. See Section
13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
Page 2 of 7
Product Name: TERGITOL(TM) L-62 Issue Date: 01/26/2006
Personal Precautions: Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Spilled
material may cause a slipping hazard. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information,
refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
General Handling: Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of
the autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion. Product on surfaces can
cause slippery conditions. Product shipped/handled hot can cause thermal burns. Product handled
hot may require additional ventilation or local exhaust.
Storage
Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in the following material(s): Stainless steel.
Polypropylene. Polyethylene-lined container. Teflon. Glass-lined container. Aluminum. Plasite 3066
lined container. Plasite 3070 lined container. 316 stainless steel.
Shelf life: Use within Storage temperature:
24 Months 15 - 35 °C
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Limits
None established
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses.
Skin Protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. When
handling hot material, protect skin from thermal burns. Selection of specific items will depend on the
operation.
Hand protection: Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection, when needed.
Respiratory Protection: For most conditions , no re s p i ra t o ry p rotection sho ul d be needed; however, if
material is heated or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be
effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter.
Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands
before smoking or eating.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
