The plain-words read of this example
Each shipper needs 18 lb (8.2 kg) of dry ice for 72 hours, 360 lb in all, and it fits the 20 lb box. The charge lasts about 72 hours, so 24 hours of delay are covered. By ground, the venting and marking rules in 173.217 are written for aircraft and vessels; still use a vented shipper and follow the carrier's own dry ice rules. Landed cost is $1,908.00, $95.40 a shipper. In a sealed 400 ft³ space the boxes reach OSHA's 5,000 ppm limit in 3 min.
