Cryogenic vessels — Gas/material compatibility

ISO 21010:2017 specifies gas/material compatibility requirements (such as chemical resistance) for cryogenic vessels, but it does not cover mechanical properties (e.g. for low-temperature applications). ISO 21010:2017 provides general guidance for compatibility with gases and detailed compatibility requirements for oxygen and oxygen-enriched atmospheres. This document also defines the testing methods for establishing oxygen compatibility of materials (metallic and non-metallic) to be used for cryogenic vessels and associated equipment. ISO 21010:2017 focuses on materials that are normally with or could be in contact with cryogenic fluids.
