What is the atmospheric boiling point of methane gas?
Direct Answer
Option B: atmospheric boiling point is - 162deg C
Methane, the primary component of LNG, has an atmospheric boiling point of approximately -162°C. Maintaining this cryogenic temperature is the fundamental requirement for storing LNG in a liquid state. The IGF Code mandates strict temperature and pressure monitoring to ensure the fuel remains within safe operational limits.
