About Pressure-Relief Valves

For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
Temperature Range: -250° to 350° F

Cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves can withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. All have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.

ASME-Code Fast-Acting Pressure-Relief
Valves for Cryogenic Liquids

For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Helium, Liquid Hydrogen, Liquid Methane, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
Specifications Met: ASME BPVC.VIII
Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F

These valves meet ASME Code Section VIII for use with cryogenic pressure vessels. Rated for use with liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid helium, liquid methane, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen, they are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. All spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Attach a drain line to the threaded relief port for remote discharge.

Pressure-Relief Valves for Cryogenic Applications

For Use With: Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
Temperature Range: -320° to 165° F

Cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves are built to withstand the extreme cold of liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Set pressure is not adjustable.

Valves are not intended for direct contact with cryogenic liquids. Risers (sold separately) are required to convert cryogenic liquids into gases before they contact the valve. 3/8 NPT valve requires a 1/2 NPT × 3/8 NPT bushing when using a riser.

Adapters (sold separately) convert the valve relief-port connection from UNEF female threads to NPT female threads.

Pressure-Regulating Valves for Cryogenic Liquids

For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F

These valves can withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. All are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range.

Extended-Life Pressure-Regulating
Valves for Cryogenic Liquids

For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F

For a longer service life than standard valves for cryogenic liquids, these have a durable bronze body. All are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. Valves are designed to withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They have an internal strainer to trap debris.
