What type of materials does an "MC 338" cargo container carry?

An "MC 338" cargo container is specifically designed for transporting cryogenic materials. These materials exist at extremely low temperatures, often below -150 degrees Celsius (-238 degrees Fahrenheit), and require special handling and storage conditions to maintain their liquefied state. The MC 338 container is constructed with high insulation capabilities to prevent heat transfer, thereby keeping the cryogenic substances stable and safe during transport.

This type of container is not suitable for the transport of explosive materials, flammable liquids, or toxic substances as its design and safety features are tailored specifically to manage the unique properties and hazards associated with cryogenic materials. Proper understanding of these containers is critical for hazmat technicians to ensure safety during the handling and transportation of hazardous materials.
