Dry Ice Shipping And Storage Tank

Dry Ice Shipping and Storage Tanks are specialized containers used for the transportation and storage of dry ice. They are classified under the supply class Commercial and Industrial Gas Cylinders and belong to the supply group Containers, Packaging, and Packing Supplies.

Dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, is commonly used for various purposes such as preserving perishable items, shipping temperature-sensitive products, and creating special effects in the entertainment industry. However, due to its extremely low temperature (-78.5°C or -109.3°F), it requires specialized containers to ensure its safe handling and storage.

Dry Ice Shipping and Storage Tanks are designed to maintain the low temperature of dry ice and prevent it from sublimating (converting directly from a solid to a gas). These tanks are typically made of durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminum to withstand the extreme cold and pressure.

These tanks are equipped with insulation to minimize heat transfer and maintain the low temperature inside. They also feature pressure relief valves to prevent excessive pressure buildup. Some tanks may have additional features like handles, wheels, or lifting lugs for ease of transportation.

Dry Ice Shipping and Storage Tanks come in various sizes, ranging from small portable containers to large-scale tanks used for industrial purposes. The size of the tank depends on the quantity of dry ice to be stored or transported.

These tanks are commonly used by industries involved in the transportation of perishable goods, medical and pharmaceutical industries, laboratories, research facilities, and catering services. They ensure that the dry ice remains in its solid state and maintains its low temperature throughout the shipping or storage process.

When using Dry Ice Shipping and Storage Tanks, it is important to follow proper handling and safety guidelines to prevent any accidents or injuries. This includes wearing protective gloves and goggles, ensuring proper ventilation, and avoiding direct contact with the skin or inhaling the gas released by the dry ice.

In summary, Dry Ice Shipping and Storage Tanks are specialized containers used for the transportation and storage of dry ice. They are designed to maintain the low temperature of dry ice and prevent it from sublimating. These tanks are commonly used in industries that require the safe handling and transportation of perishable goods or temperature-sensitive products.
