b..Designed for operation at an internal pressure in the range of 0,1 MPa to 1 MPa;
c..Constructed of either:
1..Austenitic stainless steel; or
2..‘Equivalent materials’ which are both cryogenic and hydrogen (H2)-compatible between 15 K (-258°C) and 35 K (-238°C); and
d..With internal diameters of 30 cm or greater and ‘effective lengths’ of 4 m or greater.
