Valves for LNG & Cryogenic Service - Mettur

Mettur in Tamil Nadu is a major chlor-alkali and chemical centre anchored by Chemplast Sanmar's PVC and caustic-soda complex - one of South India's largest producers of PVC resin, caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrochloric acid, alongside the MALCO (Madras Aluminium, Vedanta) site, the Mettur Thermal Power Station (TANGEDCO, 840 MW), and the Mettur Dam hydroelectric plant; the highly corrosive chlor-alkali and chlorine-derivative processes drive strong demand for PTFE-lined and PFA-lined ball, diaphragm, and butterfly valves, titanium and Hastelloy C-276 valves for wet-chlorine and hypochlorite service, and rubber-lined valves for brine and effluent handling; the thermal power station requires ASME B16.34 Class 600-900 gate and globe valves and high-temperature alloy-steel valves under IBR certification for steam and feedwater service; cooling-water systems use butterfly valves; procurement follows IBR (steam), ASME, API, and IS standards with EN 10204 3.1 MTCs and strict material traceability for chlorine service; Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Mettur and Salem-belt chemical, aluminium, and power buyers with lined, corrosion-resistant, and IBR-certified valve packages with fast delivery across Tamil Nadu.

Express dispatch available for urgent site requirements. Contact us at +91-9979774557 or sales@vajravyuh.com with your specification and required delivery date.
What is an extended bonnet on a cryogenic valve?
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.
What ASTM material is used for cryogenic valves?
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.
