Cryogenic
L&T Valves offers Gate, Globe & Check Valves for cryogenic services suitable for temperatures as low as -196°C (-321 degree F).
The valves are approved by the world-leaders in oil & gas and have a reputation for reliable performance in critical services, across the globe.
These valves are manufactured by L&T and its wholly-owned subsidiary, L&T Valves Limited (Formerly Audco India Limited). The state-of-the-art manufacturing infrastructure includes one of the largest in-house cryogenic test facilities in the world, capable of testing valves of sizes up to 60”.
Gate Valves
- API 600/ ISO 10434/ BS 6364
- 2" to 54"
- ASME class 150 to 2500
Salient Features:
- Extended bonnet with vapour column length as per BS 6364/ customer requirement - Packing protected from cryogenic temperatures, efficiency not compromised.
- Fully hard-faced trim - Disc, seat-rings and back-seat hard-faced for longer service life.
- Body and bonnet - Cast with uniform sections, precision machined.
- Body: Straight through port without recesses except in the seat area - Minimum resistance to flow, turbulence and erosion.
- Flex wedge: Guide slots in the wedge engage with integral guide ribs in the body, Stem-to-wedge contact close to wedge centre - Better sealing, smoother operation.
- Seal-welded seat ring - Eliminates leakage path between seat ring and body, does not loosen up due to temperature fluctuations or vibration.
- Stem - One-piece construction with forged T-head - Long service life, smoother operation.
Globe Valves
- BS 1873/ BS 6364
- 2" to 12"
- ASME class 150 to 2500
Salient Features:
- Extended bonnet with vapour column length as per BS 6364/ customer requirement - Packing protected from cryogenic temperatures, efficiency not compromised.
- Fully hard-faced trim - Disc, seat-rings and back-seat hard-faced for longer service life.
- Body and Bonnet - Cast with uniform sections, precision machined.
- In-situ hard-faced body seat - Eliminates leakage path between seat ring and body.
- Guided plug-type disc, Free-floating stem-disc connection - Uniform seating.
Check Valves
- BS 1868/ BS 6364
- 2" to 36"
- ASME class 150 to 2500
Salient Features :
- Fully hard-faced trim - Disc and seat-rings hard-faced for longer service life.
- Body and bonnet - Cast with uniform sections, precision machined.
- Body: Permits full swing of disc on downstream side - Lower flow resistance and disc erosion.
- Disc: Internally-hinged - No opening on the body, higher integrity.
- Disc secured to hinge using lock nut and pin.
- Disc free to rotate to avoid localized wear.
