Valves for LNG & Cryogenic Service — Harare

Yes. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Cryogenic Ball Valve (Extended Bonnet), Cryogenic Gate Valve (Extended Bonnet), Cryogenic Globe Valve (Extended Bonnet), Cryogenic Check Valve for lng & cryogenic service applications in Harare, Harare Province. Harare's Willowvale and Msasa industrial areas host Zimbabwe's largest manufacturing base including Delta Beverages, National Foods, and Lobels Bread, all requiring food-grade butterfly and ball valves; Zimbabwe Power Company's Kariba hydroelectric dam (750 MW), the largest in the country, sources ASME B16.34 gate and globe valves for penstock isolation and turbine bypass service, while the City of Harare's Morton Jaffray Waterworks — a colonial-era water treatment plant continuously expanded — requires certified butterfly and gate valves for the greater Harare supply network. We offer export documentation and delivery to Harare in 7–14 business days with full documentation and third-party inspection.

For lng & cryogenic service in Harare, the applicable standards are: BS 6364 (Cryogenic valves), ASME B16.34 Annex F, API 6D, EN 13942, ASTM A350 LF2 / LF3, ASTM A182 F316L, MSS SP-134. All valves are supplied with full documentation including material test reports (EN 10204 3.1/3.2), pressure test certificates, and dimensional inspection reports. Third-party inspection (TPI) by EIL, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, or the client's nominated inspector can be arranged.

Standard stock sizes: export documentation and delivery to Harare in 7–14 business days. Custom sizes and special materials (Duplex, Hastelloy, P91): 4–8 weeks manufacturing lead time.

An extended bonnet (also called a top-entry or long-bonnet valve) has an elongated bonnet section that moves the stem packing away from the extremely cold process fluid. This prevents the packing material from being exposed to cryogenic temperature (where it would lose elasticity and leak), and prevents atmospheric moisture from freezing around the packing gland. The extension length is calculated based on the process temperature and the acceptable minimum packing temperature.

For LNG (−162°C) and liquid nitrogen (−196°C): ASTM A351 CF8M or CF3M (cast SS 316/316L) and ASTM A182 F316L (forged). For liquid CO₂ and −46°C service: ASTM A350 LF2 (forged low-temperature carbon steel), Charpy impact tested at −46°C. Standard A216 WCB carbon steel must never be used in cryogenic service below −29°C.
