XOMOX's cryogenic butterfly line names liquid nitrogen and oxygen via the parent Type 800 process list and covers -425°F, which brackets LNG's -260°F, but the LNG application claim comes only from AVCO. Kept as a light-evidence comparison because the compact wafer/lug design minimizes temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down — a real operational advantage on a cycling LNG loading line.

Real Specifications
| Semi-cryogenic rating | 8" extension, -50°F to -180°F | crane-cpe-xomox-high-performance-butterfly-valves.md |
| Full-cryogenic rating | Longer extension, -180°F to -425°F | crane-cpe-xomox-high-performance-butterfly-valves.md |
| Seat design | Tufline CT4 cryogenic seat combines PCTFE + metal for a dual PCTFE-to-metal and metal-to-metal seal | crane-cpe-xomox-high-performance-butterfly-valves.md |
This valve's LNG suitability is a temperature-range inference (its -180°F to -425°F range brackets LNG's -260°F), not a name the vendor states on this page — worth confirming with Crane CPE before quoting it specifically for LNG duty.
The honest caveat matters here: LNG isn't named on this valve's own page, only on a competing vendor's. What is real and vendor-stated is the compact wafer/lug design's minimized temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down — a genuine advantage on a cycling LNG loading line regardless of whose name is on the LNG marketing copy.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.

FAQ
Is Cryogenic Butterfly Valve used in LNG / Liquefied Natural Gas?
XOMOX's cryogenic butterfly line names liquid nitrogen and oxygen via the parent Type 800 process list and covers -425°F, which brackets LNG's -260°F, but the LNG application claim comes only from AVCO. Kept as a light-evidence comparison because the compact wafer/lug design minimizes temperature-stabilization time on heat-up/cool-down — a real operational advantage on a cycling LNG loading line. This is light evidence.
