The design of cryogenic valves must adhere to stringent safety standards, particularly given their critical role in managing substances at extremely low temperatures. Understanding these standards ensures reliability and safety in various applications, including LNG, LPG, and industrial gas processing.
Compliance with International Standards
Cryogenic valves are governed by multiple international standards that dictate their design and manufacture. Prominent among these are BS6364 and Shell SPE 77/200, which specify requirements for the safe operation of cryogenic systems. Compliance with these standards not only guarantees superior sealing integrity and functionality but also ensures that the valves operate efficiently under the most challenging conditions, such as temperatures as low as -196°C.
Design Features for Enhanced Safety
The construction of cryogenic valves incorporates specific design features aimed at preventing failures. Extended bonnets, for instance, allow for maintaining packing at ambient temperatures, effectively mitigating cold energy loss. Additionally, features like low-emission packing (ISO 15848) and cavity relief mechanisms enhance the safety profile by preventing overpressure situations. Neway’s cryogenic gate valves are engineered with these innovations, promising durability and reliability in demanding environments.
Rigorous Testing Protocols
Before deployment, cryogenic valves undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand extreme operating conditions. This testing is crucial for validating performance and safety. Neway valves, for example, are subjected to a series of cryogenic tests that confirm their reliability for critical services. The use of low-temperature materials such as CF8, CF8M, and CF3 ensures that these valves maintain their integrity even under severe conditions, thus providing peace of mind to operators and end-users alike.
Choosing Quality in Cryogenic Valves
In the realm of cryogenic valves, safety and reliability are non-negotiable. Neway Valve stands out as a globally recognized manufacturer of cryogenic gate valves, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety standards while providing robust and cost-effective solutions for low-temperature applications. By choosing Neway, businesses can equip themselves with valves that not only meet industry standards but also exceed expectations in performance and durability.
