Technical Datasheet: Cryogenic Bellows Seal Gate Valve
Product Name: Cryogenic Bellows Seal Gate Valve
Connection: Flanged Ends (ASME B16.5)
공칭 크기: 1.5 inches (DN40)
압력 등급: Class 300 LB
본체 소재: Stainless Steel (CF8 / CF8M / CF3M)
- General Design Features
- 유형: Bellows-sealed gate valve, specifically designed for cryogenic services.
- Service Temperature: Designed for cryogenic applications down to -196°C (-320°F) (LNG, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen) .
- Seal Design: Zero-leakage to atmosphere via a primary welded metal bellows. A secondary graphite packing provides backup sealing.
- Bonnet Design: Extended bonnet construction to ensure the stem packing and bellows assembly remain above 0°C, preventing ice formation and seal failure .
- Cryogenic Treatment: All pressure-containing parts are subjected to deep cryogenic treatmentat -196°C to ensure dimensional stability and prevent austenite transformation .
- Back Seat: Integral back seat allows for repacking under pressure (if bellows fails) and protects the packing from direct media flow.
- 작업: Rising stem with non-rising handwheel for visual position indication.

- Special Requirements for Cryogenic Service (Per BS 6364)
6.1 Deep Cryogenic Treatment
All stainless steel pressure parts shall be thermally cycled to -196°C to stabilize the austenitic structure and prevent dimensional changes during operation .
6.2 Extended Bonnet (Cold Box Design)
The bonnet length must be sufficient to ensure the temperature at the stuffing box is maintained above 0°C to prevent ice formation on the stem and bellows .
6.3 Stellite Hardfacing
Seat and wedge surfaces must be overlaid with Stellite (Cobalt-Chromium alloy) to prevent galling and seizure at cryogenic temperatures .
6.4 Cleanliness & Degreasing
Valves for oxygen service (LO₂) require oxygen cleaning to remove all hydrocarbons and prevent combustion risks.
