I would like to know how much is the temprature in an airplan when it flies in the sky?

Question

I would like to send some reagent by airplane, because they are very sensitive to high and low temprature and must be kept in a special condition, I want to know the max and min temp in the baggage part of airplane during a flight

Answer 1

Any special chemicals shipped by air transport are strictly regulated. Some cargo holds can get pretty cold. Generally they are kept the same as the cabin temperature, but you can't count on it. With strict regulations on what can and cannot be shipped, I'd be more concerned about security violations. Actually this thread has probably already been tagged for scrutiny.

Answer 2

The link I've provided should give you some information regarding high altitude flight. Unfortunately, the table at that website only goes up to 16,000 ft. In actuality, most jets fly at approximately twice that altitude. At that altitude, the air can be 50 to 80 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit - very, very, very cold. Oxygen is so scarce and the atmospheric pressure so small at that altitude that if the cabin seal breaks and pressure drops, pilots and crew only have a few second to put oxygen masks on before hypoxia will set in and they will pass out. This is why jet aircraft have oxygen masks and use pressurized cabins.

Most airline companies use pressurized baggage compartments, though the temperature in these compartments is not well-regulated. If you are sending reagent, I would suggest contacting a special carrier that handles chemical shipments and shipping it in styrafoam or some other insulating material. No airline is going to guarantee a specific baggage-compartment temperature since it can vary widely from flight to flight, sometimes reaching freezing temperatures, but often hovering near 40 or 50 degrees, F.

Answer 3

Anyways how do you keep them yourself. Despite some artifiality inside the airpalne I don't think their will be any much difference with the way you keep them with you at home. But if they require any temperature below than zero, then you would consider to contact the company in charge they would be able to help you out.

Answer 4

If you are shipping anything that requires special consideration, the airline will require you to declare it in advance if they let it on the plane at all. When you contact them to make arrangements, they can tell you more than all of us.

Answer 5

call an airline company. They can tell you.
