What Are Cryogenic Valves?
Cryogenic valves are specially designed to function in extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). These valves are essential in industries dealing with liquefied gases such as liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid nitrogen (LIN), liquid natural gas (LNG), and liquid hydrogen (LH2). Their ability to maintain tight shut-off and prevent leakage makes them critical in applications where safety and performance are paramount.
