What is ISO 21028-1 - Toughness requirements for Cryogenic vessels about?
ISO 21028-1 specifies the toughness requirements of metallic materials for use at a temperature below -80 °C to ensure their suitability for cryogenic vessels.
ISO 21028-1 specifies the manufacturing of cryogenic vessels at temperatures below -80 °C.
Who is ISO 21028-1 - Toughness requirements for Cryogenic vessels for?
ISO 21028-1 on toughness requirements for cryogenic vessels is useful for:
- Cryogenic vessel manufacturer
- Testing laboratories
- Metallic industries
Why should you use ISO 21028-1 - Toughness requirements for Cryogenic vessels?
ISO 21028-1 addresses special problems that entail when the use of materials at low temperatures.
ISO 21028-1 helps to provide guidance to the user for changes in mechanical characteristics, expansion and contraction phenomena, and the thermal conduction of the various materials.
Austenitic stainless steel can transform from the austenitic to the martensitic phase when cooled down, leading to dimensional change that needs to be considered during design.
Most importantly, ISO 21028-1 provides the property that is to be considered for material toughness at low temperatures.
