FCT Cryogenic Globe Valve

FCT Cryogenic Globe Valve – Precision Control at Cryogenic Temperatures

FCT cryogenic globe valves are designed for temperatures as low as -196°C, ensuring safe, responsive flow regulation in liquefied gas applications. The extended bonnet prevents thermal transfer to the stem packing, reducing the risk of leaks and maintaining seal integrity.

Their linear motion and soft or metal-to-metal seating make them ideal for throttling or shut-off in systems handling LNG, liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and other cryogenic gases in storage tanks, pipelines, and process units.
