311nesteiden

311nesteiden is a Finnish term that translates to "311 liquids" or "311 fluids" in English. It refers to a specific category of chemical substances, primarily used in industrial and commercial applications, that are classified under the UN number 3111. This UN number signifies "LIQUID NITROGEN, REFRIGERATED" and designates the material as a hazardous substance requiring specific handling, transportation, and storage protocols.

As a cryogenic liquid, refrigerated nitrogen is stored at extremely low temperatures, typically below -190 degrees Celsius (-310 degrees Fahrenheit). This low temperature is crucial for its primary function as a refrigerant, used in various processes such as medical storage, food freezing, and in scientific research laboratories. The classification as hazardous stems from the potential risks associated with its extreme cold, including frostbite and asphyxiation in enclosed spaces due to oxygen displacement.

Regulations surrounding 311nesteiden are stringent. Transportation is governed by international and national dangerous goods regulations, requiring specialized containers like insulated tanks or dewars. Proper labeling, placarding, and documentation are mandatory to ensure safety during transit. In terms of storage, facilities must be well-ventilated, and personnel handling the substance must be trained in cryogenic safety procedures to prevent accidents and ensure the integrity of the product. The term 311nesteiden thus encompasses not just the substance itself but also the comprehensive safety and regulatory framework surrounding its use.
