Cryogenic Butterfly Valve
Where LibertyCES specs Cryogenic Butterfly Valve
LNG / Liquefied Natural Gas
Light evidenceHonesty flag: LNG is NOT named on this page. XOMOX's cryogenic butterfly line names liquid nitrogen and oxygen via the parent Type 800 process list and covers -425°F, which brackets LNG's -260°F, but the LNG application claim comes only from AVCO. Kept as a light-evidence comparison because the compact wafer/lug design minimizes temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down — a real operational advantage on a cycling LNG loading line.
Air Separation
Moderate evidenceAir separation is inherently cryogenic distillation and the Special Purpose family sits on the same Type 800 platform whose branch list names Air separation — but the cryogenic sub-variant page does not repeat the name, hence moderate. Transferable point: the compact wafer/lug body minimizes temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down, which is the cold-box start-up problem in an ASU.
Chemical compatibility
No documented chemical-compatibility record yet for this category — a spec review is the right next step before specifying against a specific chemical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use Cryogenic Butterfly Valve?
LibertyCES has documented Cryogenic Butterfly Valve specified across 2 sector applications, including LNG / Liquefied Natural Gas and Air Separation.
What is a real-world application of Cryogenic Butterfly Valve in LNG / Liquefied Natural Gas?
Honesty flag: LNG is NOT named on this page. XOMOX's cryogenic butterfly line names liquid nitrogen and oxygen via the parent Type 800 process list and covers -425°F, which brackets LNG's -260°F, but the LNG application claim comes only from AVCO. Kept as a light-evidence comparison because the compact wafer/lug design minimizes temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down — a real operational advantage on a cycling LNG loading line. — examples include XOMOX Special Purpose Cryogenic Butterfly Valves — semi-cryogenic (8" extension, -50°F to -180°F) and full-cryogenic (-180°F to -425°F); Tufline CT4 cryogenic seat combining PCTFE + metal for a dual PCTFE-to-metal and metal-to-metal seal; stainless construction, compact wafer/lug design. This is lightly documented in LibertyCES's field data.
