(QSTAG 360 Category C1) (b) Storage and transit conditions. Design criteria are: Five continuous hours with an induced air temperature of ° F (−33 ° C) with no wind or solar radiation, and humidity tending toward saturation (table 2-7). 2–6. Cold climatic design type. a. Location. Cold conditions are found in the Northern Hemisphere in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, northern Asia, and Tibet.
Very small areas of the cold type may be found at higher elevations in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere (e.g., Alps, Himalayas, and the Andes). b. Temperature, humidity, solar radiation. (1) Operational conditions. Design conditions are: Six continuous hours with an ambient air temperature of −50 ° F 16 AR 70–38 • 15 September 1979
