Cryogenic valves, often modified ball, gate, or globe designs, are specialized for service at temperatures below . Compliance requires materials (per ASTM) and design modifications, such as an extended bonnet, in accordance with standards like BS 6364 and ISO 28921-1. Inspection ensures compliance with low-temperature material requirements (e.g., Charpy impact testing). Testing is uniquely severe, involving a Cryogenic Test where the valve is immersed in a liquid medium (like Liquid Nitrogen) to verify that the stem packing and seating surfaces maintain their sealing integrity at the minimum design temperature, as per stringent pressure and fugitive emission requirements.
