Do Not Freeze
info Cryogenic Applications Cryogenic Sealing Solutions provide a strong sealing mechanism for materials held at cryogenic temperatures, such as cryogenic fluids. Most commonly used are liquid helium and liquid
nitrogen, which boil at very low temperatures, below −153°C (120K), as well
as hydrocarbons with low freezing points and refrigerating mixtures.
Typically,
applications where temperatures fall below -238°F (or -150°C) to absolute zero which is -460°F (or -273°C) are considered cryogenic. Cryogenic seals are
used in a variety of applications. These
include: - LNG fueling systems and compressors
- rocket propulsion filling systems
- specialty gas manufacturing
- scientific instrumentation
- magnetic resonance
imaging
- infrared telescopes
- radio astronomy
- biosystems
- satellite tracking
systems
- pharmaceutical research
Cryogenic fluids include liquid oxygen,
liquid hydrogen, liquid helium, hydrocarbons that have very low freezing
points, refrigerants, and coolants. In fact, cryogenics can be traced
back to the 1800s and the first use of refrigerants.
