Preface This monograph was prepared in an effort to present in concise form the principles of safety that are applicable to the field of cryogenics. Thus, while it includes safety rules, design data, first-aid and hazard control procedures, emphasis has been placed on basic principles. An appreciation of these principles permits an individual to conduct a safe operation under a wider variety of conditions than is possible if he is familiar only with a list of safety rules. Although such rules are useful, there is no guarantee that a complete set can ever be assembled in any particular case. For this reason, greater emphasis has been placed on the fundamentals than on the applications. At the same time, an extensive, although by no means exhaustive, set of references has been prepared for use by those who wish to delve into a particular principle or application in greater detail; a separate monograph could be prepared on each topic considered here-such monographs are available in many cases. I have assumed that the reader is familiar with the general safety procedures used in ordinary laboratory and plant operations. Where these are applicable to a particular low-temperature operation, they are reviewed briefly, or the reader is referred to a specific text or journal article for a detailed treatment. The choice of topics was based in part on past experience and in part
