What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

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.

Products cited in this application

Install / Failure Note

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.
