Ball Valves
Cryogenic Floating Ball Valve
Extended-bonnet ball valve tested for service down to –196 °C, keeping the stem packing away from the cold zone for LNG, nitrogen and oxygen lines.

Overview
A cryogenic ball valve is a type of valve designed specifically to handle extremely low temperatures, typically in cryogenic applications where fluids like liquid nitrogen, oxygen, or natural gas are used.
Key features
- Extended Stem Design: Allows for safe and convenient operation in insulated piping systems, maintaining optimal performance in cryogenic environments.
- Low-Temperature Resilience: Engineered to operate efficiently at temperatures as low as -196°C (-320°F), ensuring reliability in the harshest conditions.
- Superior Sealing Technology: Advanced sealing mechanisms to prevent leakage and ensure a tight seal under high-pressure conditions.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade materials to withstand the challenges of cryogenic applications, providing long-lasting durability.
- Precision Engineering: Crafted with meticulous attention to detail to ensure precise control and smooth operation, facilitating reliable flow management.
