Pipe for cryogenic device


Cryogenic piping refers to systems that are used in a wide range of industrial applications that require extremely low temperatures, generally around -300°F (150°C) or lower. Due to such low temperatures, cryogenic pipes face unique corrosion and deterioration challenges.

Cyrogenic piping is also referred to as cold piping.


Implement specifications such as ASME SA-333M, GB/T18984. The seamless steel tubes are applied for low temperature pressure vessel pipeline and low temperature heat exchanger pipeline.
