NCIt definition : A container, usually made of glass or metal, that has at least two walls with the

and is used especially for storing liquefied gases or for experiments at low temperatures.
The size can vary from that of a small thermos bottle up to that which may be mounted
upon a large truck (also known as a 'cryogenic truck').;
