LNG combines cryogenic temperature with a medium nobody wants leaking. It is the most demanding combination we work with, and the documentation regime reflects that.
Applications and the products that suit them
| Application | Product |
|---|---|
| Bunkering transfer connections | Braided corrugated hose in 316L, cryogenic rated |
| Terminal loading arm connections | Braided corrugated hose vacuum-jacketed |
| Regasification vaporiser connections | Axial expansion joint in 321 |
| Boil-off gas lines | Braided corrugated hose in 316L |
| Storage tank connections | Lateral / universal joint tied |
| Pump and compressor connections | Pressure-balanced joint where nozzle load is limited |
| Relief and vent systems | Braided corrugated hose in 316L |
Specification notes for this sector
- 316L rated to −196 °C; LNG service is −162 °C
- Vacuum-jacketed construction where heat ingress must be minimised
- Third-party inspection and full documentation are the norm on this work — plan it into the order
What to send with an enquiry
Bore, medium, pressure, temperature, movement and both end connections. The reasoning for each is on how to specify an assembly.
