cryogenic fluids

Cryogenic fluids are gases that are cooled to extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F), causing them to become liquids. Examples include liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and helium. These fluids are used in various industries, such as medical procedures, space technology, and scientific research, because their cold temperatures enable unique applications like preserving biological materials, fueling rockets, or creating superconducting systems. Handling cryogenic fluids requires specialized equipment, as they can cause severe frostbite or burns if they come into contact with skin due to their intense cold.
