Comprehensive Cryogenic CompatibilityOur Short Stem Cryogenic Valves are built to handle extremely low temperatures from -196C up to +80C, making them ideal for critical cryogenic services such as LNG, industrial gases, and laboratory applications. With reliable sealing-PTFE or metal-seated-and robust stem packing, these valves ensure consistent leak-tight performance under thermal cycling and demanding conditions.
Certified Quality and Flexible DesignEach valve adheres strictly to international standards including ASME B16.34, BS 6364, and API 6D. Extensive testing as per BS 6364 Cryogenic Tests and API 598/EN 12266 guarantees operational safety. Customizable bonnet extension lengths, multiple surface finishes, and broad end connection options make integration seamless for diverse systems and specifications.
FAQ's of Short Stem Cryogenic Valves:
Q: How are Short Stem Cryogenic Valves used in cryogenic service applications?
A: Short Stem Cryogenic Valves are specifically designed for controlling the flow of liquefied gases such as LNG, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in environments where temperatures may reach as low as -196C. Their robust construction and extended bonnet ensure insulation and reliable sealing in these conditions.
Q: What benefits do CF8, CF8M, and Forged Steel materials provide for these valves?
A: CF8, CF8M, and Forged Steel offer outstanding mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, which are critical for maintaining valve integrity and longevity in aggressive cryogenic and industrial environments.
Q: When should you choose PTFE or graphite stem packing for these valves?
A: PTFE packing is recommended for applications requiring chemical resistance and low friction, whereas graphite packing is preferred for high-temperature applications due to its superior thermal stability and sealing performance.
Q: Where can these valves be installed and what connection types are available?
A: These cryogenic valves are suitable for installation in industrial plants, LNG terminals, and gas handling facilities. They are available with flanged, screwed, or butt-weld end connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of pipeline systems.
Q: What is the typical process for testing these short stem cryogenic valves?
A: Testing follows BS 6364 Cryogenic Test and API 598/EN 12266 standards, which involve stringent leak testing at ambient and cryogenic conditions, ensuring leak-tight and reliable performance under actual service conditions.
Q: How does the fire-safe design benefit operational safety?
A: The valves are certified to meet API 607 fire-safe standards, meaning they maintain their sealing performance even in the event of a fire, preventing hazardous leakage and enhancing overall plant safety.
