Cryogenic services involves the handling of liquefied gases as helium, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine in temperatures between -150 oF to -450 oF.
The "cryogenic" properties of this materials can be summarized to:
| Gas | Helium - He - |
Hydrogen - H2 - |
Methane - CH4 - |
Nitrogen - N2 - |
Oxygen - O2 - |
Fluorine - F2 - |
