Reliable Valves

Low-Temperature & Cryogenic Butterfly Valve Solutions

We deliver complete valve solutions from -46°C low-temperature service to -196°C deep cryogenic applications, ensuring absolute safety and reliability in extreme conditions.

Low-Temperature Service (Down to -46°C)

Engineered for applications like LPG and ammonia where standard carbon steel fails, guaranteeing safety against brittle fracture.

Core Advantage: Eliminating Brittle Fracture with True Low-Temp Steels

Standard carbon steel (A216 WCB) becomes dangerously brittle below -29°C. For critical applications down to -46°C, we mandate the use of superior materials like ASTM A352 LCC/LCB or Austenitic Stainless Steel (CF8/CF8M). These alloys are specifically designed with enhanced nickel content and grain structures that maintain excellent impact toughness at low temperatures, providing an essential layer of safety and preventing catastrophic failure in cold climates and refrigerated media service.

Case Study: Securing an LPG Storage Facility from Brittle Fracture

"Our previous carbon steel valves on the -42°C LPG lines were a constant source of anxiety, living on the edge of their temperature rating. JRVAL's LCC-body lug valves gave us the safety margin we needed. They passed ultrasonic tests with flying colors after two brutal winters, completely eliminating the risk of brittle fracture."

Standard Cryogenic Service (Down to -101°C)

Cost-effective and reliable valve solutions for ethylene, ethane, and other industrial gases using specially modified materials.

Core Advantage: Proprietary Material Modification for Cryogenic Duty

For services down to -101°C, we offer a unique, cost-effective solution built on specially modified carbon and stainless steels. Through a proprietary multi-stage thermal treatment process, we refine the material's microstructure, enhancing its low-temperature ductility and impact strength far beyond standard specifications. This innovative approach delivers the cryogenic performance required for applications like ethylene processing, without the higher cost of specialized alloys, providing a perfect balance of safety, reliability, and economic value.

Case Study: Optimizing an Ethylene Plant with Modified Steel Valves

"We were skeptical about using modified carbon steel for our -100°C ethylene cracking unit, but the cost savings were significant. JRVAL provided extensive low-temperature test data. Three years in, these valves are performing flawlessly, with zero leaks or operational issues. They delivered on their promise of cryogenic performance at a better price point."

Deep Cryogenic & LNG Service (Down to -196°C)

The ultimate solution designed for ultra-low temperature media such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), liquid nitrogen, and liquid hydrogen.

Core Advantage: Austenitic Stainless Steel & Extended Bonnet Design

At the extreme temperature of -196°C, only austenitic stainless steels (like CF8/CF8M) retain the essential ductility and toughness to operate safely. Our deep cryogenic valves feature full austenitic stainless steel construction combined with the critical "Extended Bonnet" design. This component physically isolates the stem packing and actuator from the cryogenic fluid, preventing packing freeze-up and actuator damage. This ensures long-term, reliable zero-leakage performance in the world's most demanding applications, like LNG liquefaction and transport.

Case Study: Solving Stem Icing at a Japanese LNG Terminal

"When handling LNG at -162°C, our previous valves were failing due to stem icing, which caused packing leaks and operational seizure. JRVAL's extended bonnet triple-offset valve completely solved this. Its design keeps the actuator area above 0°C, ensuring total operational safety and reliability."
