The capacity of cryogenic containers can be determined according to specific needs and application scenarios, and there is no fixed uniform standard.
In industry, cryogenic containers are used to store and transport various cryogenic liquids, such as liquefied natural gas, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquid hydrogen, liquid helium and liquid fluorine. The capacity of cryogenic containers can vary from a few liters to thousands of cubic meters.
For example, cryogenic liquid storage containers (volume greater than 5 m³) and spherical storage tanks (volume greater than or equal to 50 m³) are common types of cryogenic containers. In addition, the capacity of mobile cryogenic containers, such as railway tank cars, tank cars, and tank containers, will also vary depending on the specific design and needs.
Therefore, the capacity of cryogenic containers needs to be determined according to actual needs and application scenarios.
Is there no unified standard for the capacity of cryogenic containers?
Yes, there is no uniform standard for the size of the capacity of cryogenic containers. This is because the design and manufacture of cryogenic containers are determined based on a variety of factors such as specific usage needs, application scenarios, types and quantities of stored items. For example, in the medical sector, small cryogenic containers for storing biological samples may be required, while in the industrial sector, large cryogenic storage tanks for storing and transporting large quantities of LNG may be required. As a result, cryogenic containers can be sized in sizes ranging from a few liters to thousands of cubic meters, depending on the actual demand.
