Which storage description applies to high- pressure systems as described in the material?

• A. Cryogenic liquids
• B. Dry bulk
• C. High pressure
• D. Corrosive liquids

Answer: (C)

The storage description for high‑pressure systems focuses on the condition of the material: it’s stored under elevated pressure, i.e., as compressed gases in cylinders or pressurized vessels. This is why the applicable description is “high pressure”—the safety considerations revolve around keeping the gas under pressure, preventing leaks, and managing pressure relief and valve integrity. Cryogenic liquids are stored at extremely low temperatures in insulated dewars, not under high pressure. Dry bulk refers to dry, unpackaged solids stored in bulk quantities, not compressed gases. Corrosive liquids describe the chemical activity of the substance, not its pressure state. So, for high‑pressure systems, the storage description that fits is high pressure.
