Container Transport Certifications and Design Guidelines

Cryogenic vessels that are transported over public roads come under the jurisdiction of the Hazardous Materials regulations of the Department of Transportation. Under those regulations, vessels that operate at less than 25 PSI are exempt from the requirements, and as such, are unregulated.

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, as related to cryogenic vessels, is usually invoked at the discretion of the customer, depending upon the application.
