A cryogenic hose is an essential tool designed for handling and transferring liquids at extremely low temperatures, such as liquid nitrogen or liquefied natural gas (LNG).
This hose is constructed with multiple layers of insulation to provide exceptional thermal protection, ensuring that the temperature of the conveyed liquid remains constant. It integrates flexible metal bellows and specially formulated rubber compounds to maintain flexibility and durability in harsh cryogenic conditions. The inner lining is crafted from materials resistant to corrosion, facilitating a smooth and safe transfer of cryogenic fluids.
Such hoses are widely used in the medical field, research laboratories, semiconductor manufacturing, and other industries that require precise temperature control of very low-temperature liquids. They are distinguished by their capability to operate efficiently at temperatures as low as -200°C, offering unmatched flexibility, thermal insulation, and corrosion resistance. These features combine to ensure the safe, reliable transport of cryogenic liquids, minimizing the risk of leaks and maintaining the integrity of the substances being handled.
