| Valve Type | Extended Bonnet Cryogenic Globe Valve (Plug Disc) |
| Operating Temp | -46°C to -196°C |
| Design & Flange Standard | BS 6364 / EN 1092-1 (PN40 RF) |
| Body Material | CF8 (ASTM A351 304 Stainless Steel) |
| Pressure Rating | PN40 (4.0 MPa) |
❄️ Deep Cryogenic Treatment: To ensure absolute dimensional stability and precise throttling at -196°C, all CF8 castings are submerged in liquid nitrogen. This cryogenic stress-relief process eliminates structural deformation and protects against micro-leaks in LNG services.
Chemical Composition (ASTM A351 CF8)
Premium austenitic stainless steel casting offering superior low-temperature toughness and oxidation resistance.
