Cryogenic valves play a critical role in industries that handle liquefied gases such as LNG, liquid oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and helium. These valves must withstand extreme temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F), without failure.
Selecting and engineering the right cryogenic valve is essential for safety, reliability, and long-term performance. This article explores key design considerations, material selection, common challenges, and best practices in cryogenic valve engineering.
