SVR Global

Cryogenic Valve Manufacturer in USA

A cryogenic valve is a specialized industrial valve designed to safely control, isolate, or regulate fluids at extremely low temperatures, typically below −50 °C. These valves are essential for handling liquefied gases where conventional valves may fail due to material brittleness or thermal contraction.

SVR Global is a leading Cryogenic Valve Manufacturer and Supplier in USA, providing high-performance cryogenic valves engineered for temperatures as low as −196 °C. Our cryogenic valves are designed to ensure leak-tight performance, structural integrity, and operational safety across LNG, industrial gas, petrochemical, and energy infrastructure projects throughout the United States.

With proven expertise in low-temperature service, SVR Global supports EPC contractors, plant operators, and energy developers with engineered cryogenic valve solutions that meet stringent international standards and project specifications.

What Is a Cryogenic Valve?

A cryogenic valve is used in systems handling liquefied gases such as LNG, liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, hydrogen, and argon. These valves are specifically designed to operate under extreme cold conditions, using materials with high impact toughness and extended bonnet designs to protect packing and actuators from cryogenic temperatures.

Cryogenic Valve Applications in Low-Temperature Systems

SVR Global cryogenic valves are widely used in critical low-temperature process applications, including:

  • LNG liquefaction, storage, and regasification terminals
  • Industrial gas processing, storage, and distribution systems
  • Petrochemical and chemical processing plants
  • Hydrogen production, storage, and clean energy infrastructure
  • Aerospace, research laboratories, and test facilities

These applications require valves capable of maintaining tight shutoff and reliable operation despite severe thermal cycling.

Types of Cryogenic Valves

SVR Global manufactures and supplies a complete range of cryogenic valve designs for different service conditions:

Cryogenic Gate Valves

Used for full-bore isolation in low-temperature pipelines where minimal pressure drop and reliable shutoff are required.

Cryogenic Globe Valves

Suitable for throttling and flow regulation, offering precise control in cryogenic process systems.

Cryogenic Ball Valves

Provide tight shutoff, fast operation, and reliable sealing, commonly used in LNG and industrial gas applications.

Cryogenic Check Valves

Prevent reverse flow in cryogenic pipelines and protect compressors, pumps, and storage systems.

All cryogenic valve designs feature extended bonnets to ensure packing and actuation components remain above cryogenic temperature zones.

FAQs

What is a cryogenic valve used for?

Cryogenic valves are used to control and isolate liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures in LNG, industrial gas, and energy systems.

Why is an extended bonnet required in cryogenic valves?

An extended bonnet keeps packing and actuators away from extreme cold, preventing seal damage and ensuring safe operation.

Which materials are suitable for cryogenic valves?

Austenitic stainless steels, low-temperature carbon steels, and nickel alloys are commonly used due to their toughness at cryogenic temperatures.

Do cryogenic valves require special testing?

Yes, cryogenic valves undergo low-temperature, leak, and impact testing to ensure safety and performance under cryogenic conditions.
