Ethylene oxide storage temperature
Thread Content
Here, the storage temperature for ethylene oxide is -6°C to 0°C. But in Document No. 142. It is required that the storage temperature in the tank be below 30°C. Which one is accurate?
In practice, it is generally within 10 degrees above zero; I’m not sure which figure is accurate Waiting for the big brother to explain
Industrial ethylene oxide GBT 13098-2006 6.3 Storage temperature shall not exceed 10°C.
There is no conflict between the two; one requires a value below 30, while the other requires a value between -6 and 0 – they are not contradictory. The boiling point of ethylene oxide is around 10 degrees; generally, the storage temperature should not exceed this boiling point
Regarding the storage temperature for ethylene oxide storage tanks: Article 6.3 of the standard \"Ethylene Oxide for Industrial Use\" GBT13908-2006 specifies that the storage temperature should not exceed 10°C. The notice \"On Strengthening the Safety Management of Containers Used for the Storage and Transportation of Ethylene Oxide\" (Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau Document No. [2000]95) indicates that the operating temperature range for fixed ethylene oxide storage tanks is -10°C to 20°C. Given the tendency of ethylene oxide to polymerize on its own, and based on the storage management experience of our company as well as other companies that use this substance, it is safer to store ethylene oxide at temperatures between 7-8°C. Therefore, it is recommended that the storage temperature of ethylene oxide be kept below 10°C.
