The Cryogenic Globe Valve is used for shut-off, isolation, and flow control in cryogenic media pipelines. Featuring an extended bonnet, cryogenic sealing structure, and materials suitable for cryogenic conditions, it can be used in LNG, liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, and other cryogenic media systems.
Core Advantages
Extended Valve Cover: Reduces the conduction of cryogenic temperatures to the stuffing box, improving packing seal performance under cryogenic conditions.
Live-Loaded Packing: Employs disc spring preload to compensate for packing thermal expansion and contraction, reducing the risk of stem leakage.
Cryogenic Materials: Optional materials include ASTM A351 CF8/CF8M/CF3M and ASTM A182 F304/F316/F316L, selected according to temperature, pressure, and medium.
Sealing Structure: Can be configured with Stellite, PTFE, PCTFE, and other sealing materials to meet various cryogenic conditions.

Cryogenic Design
Gas Phase Isolation: An extended valve cover creates a gas phase space, reducing the conduction of cryogenic temperatures to the packing area.
Valve Chamber Pressure Control: Pressure balancing or valve chamber pressure relief structures can be configured according to the medium and operating conditions.
LOX Cleaning: For liquid oxygen applications, degreasing, cleaning, inspection, and packaging can be performed according to ASTM G93, EN 12300, or project requirements.
Application Areas
LNG: Used in LNG receiving, storage, vaporization, and loading/unloading systems.
Air Separation and Industrial Gases: Suitable for cryogenic pipelines containing liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon; oxygen cleaning treatment can be configured.
Cryogenic Petrochemicals: Used in pipelines containing liquid ethylene and other cryogenic hydrocarbons.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
CNC Machining: CNC machining and dimensional inspection are performed on critical sealing surfaces, valve stems, and connection dimensions.
Material Traceability: Critical pressure-bearing components support furnace number, MTC 3.1, and PMI traceability.
NDT Inspection
RT, PT, MT and other non-destructive testing services are available upon request.
