Cryogenic temperatures require cryogenic materials. This is not only a simple fact of physics, it’s a key mandate. When working in this challenging environment, design and selection of the cryogenic material such as seals become important factors in not only the performance and cost, but the success and safety of the project. This is especially true when engineering polymer seals for cryogenic applications in the aerospace and oil & gas industries. Ever wonder what goes into making quality sealing materials for this type of specialized environment? Which characteristics should you look for when using polymer materials? From rocket propulsion systems to LNG tank applications, today we’re sharing some important features to consider when using sealing materials for extreme temperatures:
