Word About Cryogenics...
Cryogenics
— the science of materials at extremely low temperatures —
has become more and more important to industry. One important
aspect of this field is the liquification of normally gaseous
elements, including the following, which are widely used throughout
industry:
Oxygen
- Used extensively in BOF furnaces in the steel industry,
for metal cutting, as a rocket fuel and in medicine.
Acetylene
- Widely used in welding.
Nitrogen
- Used in refrigeration systems, for metal degassing,
in aerosol packaging and in cryogenic surgery.
Hydrogen
- Used as a rocket propellant and in the production
of several metals.
Argon
- Widely used in incandescent lamps and fluorescent
tubes.
Helium - Used for arc welding, in the manufacture
of electron tubes and in cryogenic research.
Carbon
Dioxide - Used in refrigeration, to make aerosol
tanks and in fire fighting.
Other
cryogenic fluids include liquefied natural gas, fluorine,
krypton, neon, methane and ethane.

Valve has an extensive line of cryogenic valves and controls.
Includes pressure reducing valves, pressure build-up regulators,
back pressure valves, economizer valves, combination valves,
low temperature cut-off valves, safety relief valves, shut-off
valves, final line regulators, strainers and high purity valves.
Full specifications of construction, dimensions and available
pressure ranges are contained in separate Data Sheets.
