Ensuring Safety and Efficiency: Standards for Cryogenic Tank Design and Operation
To guarantee their safety, adherence to established standards is essential.
Cryogenic tanks are vital for the safe storage and transportation of cryogenic liquids like liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen. To guarantee their safety, adherence to established standards is essential.These standards encompass various aspects, including design, construction, and operation.
Design and materials: Cryogenic tanks should be designed in accordance with relevant standards and codes to ensure their structural strength and tightness. Cryogenic tanks are often manufactured using high strength materials (e.g. stainless steel, aluminum alloys, etc.) to ensure that they can withstand both low and high pressure conditions.
Internal Insulation: The interior of cryogenic tanks often contain insulating materials (e.g., multi-layer insulation, gas fill, etc.) to reduce heat transfer and evaporation. This helps to maintain the temperature of the cryogenic liquid and reduces stress and distortion of the tank walls.
