Product Overview
Manufacturing Processes: Precision Engineering for Cryogenic Environments
(1) Cryogenic Adaptation Technology
Deep Cryogenic Treatment: Valve body and ball undergo -196°C liquid nitrogen aging treatment (48-hour hold) to eliminate internal stress, refine grain size to ASTM Grade 7, and maintain elongation ≥18% at low temperatures.
Sealing Surface Machining: Five-axis linkage grinding machines ensure seat surface roughness Ra≤0.4μm, with laser interferometer inspection to guarantee sealing surface fit error ≤0.003mm at low temperatures.
(2) Structural Design Highlights
Side-Entry Structure: Removable side body design allows seal component maintenance without full valve disassembly, reducing maintenance time by over 30% in cryogenic conditions.
Symmetrical Flow Path: Bidirectional flow without directionality, eliminating the need to distinguish flow direction during installation, suitable for complex pipeline layouts.
Anti-Frost Dew Coating: Polyurethane thermal insulation coating (500μm thickness) with thermal conductivity ≤0.02W/(m·K) prevents external condensation and ensures operational safety.
(3) Full-Process Cryogenic Testing
Material Testing: Each batch of steel undergoes low-temperature impact testing (-196°C) and chemical analysis (C≤0.25%, Ni≥8%), with third-party reports (e.g., SGS).
Pressure Testing:
Cryogenic Seal Test: 1.1x nominal pressure test at -100°C, no leakage under 30-minute hold;
Vacuum Test: Valve body evacuated to 10⁻³Pa, pressure rise ≤0.1Pa over 24 hours to verify airtightness.
