Thermal gradients (heating or freezing) can cause certain media to expand in the line, creating internal pressure buildup and possibly causing valves to
"stick" in the closed position. Consult the company if you encounter this problem or if you plan to use ball valves for high thermal gradient service.

 VELAN CRYOGENIC VALVE TECHNOLOGY
APPLICATIONS
The production, transport and storage of liquefied gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, natural gas, hydrogen or
helium (down to -425°F (-254°C)), to mention only some of the more commonly used,
presents several technical problems. Velan specially-adapted extended
bonnet forged valves offer safe and efficient service including
LNG liquifaction plants and receiving terminals as well as
cargo systems of LNG and aerospace ground support
facilites for liquid, hydrogen and oxygen.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
All valves except check valves are supplied with extended bonnet with a
sufficient gas column length, usually specified by the user, to keep the stem
seal packings exposed only to vapor and not the cold liquid to ensure
functional integrity.

MATERIALS - WELDING - CLEANING

● Body and bonnet: Austenitic stainless steel forgings used for bodies and
bonnets offer excellent impact strength, minimal heat loss and protection
against corrosion. For cast steel valves radiographed castings are used
only from specially approved foundries.
● Stem: To reduce galling, stems are made from advanced Nitronic 50 Heat Heat
(grade XM-19 A479) with high tensile even at extreme low temperatures,
excellent low friction and galling-free movement at points of stem
contact. Alternative 316L stems are used for less demanding applications
● Wetted parts: All Austenitic stainless steel. On small 1 ⁄4 –2” forged valves,
seats, wedges or discs are often Stellite 6. Cold liquid
● Yoke bushings: Bronze.
● Lubrication: Molykote 33 or Plex 2
● Packing: PTFE or other plastic packing protected from freezing
by a column of insulating gas. For fire safe operation a secondary
packing is provided using graphite.
● Seating faces: Stellite 6 is used to prevent seizing and galling.
When extremely tight shutoff is required, valves are supplied
with Kel-F, PTFE or other soft inserts.
● Bolting: Strain-hardened Austenitic stainless steel.
● Welding: Inconel electrodes must be used
● Cleaning: All cryogenic valves are thoroughly degreased,
cleaned and sealed to prevent contamination.

ASME B16.34, the ASME Code, or special customer
requirements as applicable. In all plants test status
is integrated into production control / inventory
management software.

5. IMPROVEMENT TEAMS
Continuous Improvement teams at point of

DESIGN FEATURES FOR CAST STEEL:
● Seat face Stellited, ground and lapped to a
mirror finish. Conical seat machined to
8 RMS.

● Flat disc. Floating stem-disc engagement,

hardfaced with Stellite 6 or Monel, ground
and lapped with seat.

Inclined cast ● Tapered disc. Body-guided disc, hardfaced

class 900–2500 with Stellite 6 or Monel, ground and lapped
globe valves with seat.

● Body and bonnet. Castings are precision

machined. One-piece bonnet for better
alignment, fewer parts.

● Stuffing box finish to 63 AARH or better.

● Body and bonnet joint accurately

machined. Fully enclosed gasket.
Gasket materials on page 3.

● Stem with precision Acme threads and

burnished finish.

● Gland has two-piece construction for easy

alignment.

● Yoke bushing. Ni-resist, renewable in-line,

non-rotating yoke bushing, rotating stem

Class 150: 12" (300 mm) and up,
Class 300: 8" (200 mm) and up,
Class 600: 6" (150 mm) and up.

● Impactor handwheels. Globe and stop

check valves require higher closing torques
than gate valves with the same seat
diameter and pressure class. The most
economical mechanism for tight shutoff is
the impactor handwheel. Two lugs cast
under the wheelstrike simultaneous blows
and give 3–10 times the closing force of
standard handwheels. Impactor
handwheels are supplied at manufacturer’s
option unless specified by customer.
