What Is a Cryogenic Butterfly Valve?

A cryogenic butterfly valve is a rotary motion valve designed to regulate or shut off cryogenic fluids at temperatures as low as −196°C. It features an extended bonnet, which isolates the stem packing area from direct cryogenic exposure, preventing freezing and ensuring seal integrity.

These valves are ideal for liquid gas applications, including LNG, liquid nitrogen, liquid hydrogen, and oxygen systems, where tight shutoff, corrosion resistance, and minimal pressure loss are critical.
