Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / chemicals | | French term or phrase: déclassé | This is ina report on the explosion at a fertilzer plant in Toulouse in 2001.
"L’explosion s’est produite dans une zone de stockage de l’usine où étaient entreposés des granulés de « nitrate d’ammonium » déclassés et a détruit une partie du site. Cette explosion a entraîné la mort de 30 personnes, de nombreux blessés et des dommages matériels importants dans une partie de la ville de Toulouse."
A previous translator has translated "déclassés" as "off-specification. Is this correct? |

Explanation:
d'accord avec off-specification. En général il s'agit d'une mauvaise granulométrie. Cela a provoque par ex. une explosion identique à Tessenderlo (Belgique ) au cours de la guerre (1942 ?)
