Engineered for your application
A lifting-type liquid-hydrogen shut-off assembly combining pneumatic linear actuation, an extended bonnet, a vacuum-jacketed body and a selected bellows sealing arrangement.
Series limits guide enquiry and are not verified availability or approved operating limits for every size, pressure and operator combination. Confirm the selected design and pressure-temperature rating.
Technical data
The specification, in detail.
| Parameter | Technical specification |
|---|---|
| Size range | NPS 1/2-6 |
| Pressure ratings | ASME Class 150-600 |
| Temperature range | -253 to +80°C |
| Construction | Lifting-type shut-off; vacuum jacket; bellows seal |
| Operation | Pneumatic linear actuator |
| Medium | LH2 / liquid hydrogen |
Nominal pressure and ASME class are different rating systems. Confirm the pressure–temperature rating for the selected material and design.
End connections
Define the interface.
Shown configuration: two RF flanged line connections
| Connection detail | Connection / selection requirement |
|---|---|
| Connection options | Socket weld (SW) / butt weld (BW) / RF flanged |
| Mating interface | Confirm end standard, facing or weld preparation, pipe dimensions and installation envelope. |
The illustration shows one configuration. Published connection alternatives are options for enquiry; their availability depends on size, rating, material and design. Installation dimensions come from the drawing, not the illustration.
Materials
From body to seal.
| Component | Material / option |
|---|---|
| Body and bonnet | Cryogenic stainless steel; selected grade to confirm |
| Trim, seats and seals | Selected material schedule to confirm |
Published material alternatives are configuration-dependent. H.F. denotes hard facing; the exact grade and material certificates are confirmed with the offer.
Selection notes
Defined around your application.
- Dedicated LH2 isolation
- Insulated body and extended bonnet
- Linear pneumatic operating package
| Engineering data | Configuration requirement |
|---|---|
| Shutdown function | Specify trip logic, fail action, utility loss cases and required closing behaviour. |
| Assembly qualification | Confirm seat load, bellows design, material schedule and low-temperature leak testing. |
Series limits guide enquiry and are not verified availability or approved operating limits for every size, pressure and operator combination. Confirm the selected design and pressure-temperature rating.
Fail-close action, response time, fire-test coverage and SIL qualification require evidence for the complete selected assembly; none follows from the product name alone.
Published ratings do not establish suitability for every listed medium. Oxygen cleaning, material compatibility, trapped-liquid relief and project approvals are specified for the selected assembly. Liquid-hydrogen and helium service require a separate temperature and material review.
