Engineered for extreme maritime operations, this class-approved one inch lighter gas valve delivers fail-safe performance in LNG transfer and offshore fuel systems. Fabricated from ASTM B564 UNS N06600 nickel alloy, this cryogenic gas valve maintains ductility down to -196°C (-321°F) during liquefied natural gas bunkering operations. The fire-safe design features graphite/Inconel® seat rings that maintain seal integrity even after 30 minutes of 650°C (1,202°F) hydrocarbon fire testing per API 607. As a critical marine fuel valve, its extended bonnet prevents stem icing during cryogenic service while the anti-vibration stem nut resists loosening in high-sea-state conditions. Certified for Zone 1 hazardous areas with IECEx/IEC 60079 compliance, this gas safety valve incorporates double-block-and-bleed functionality for safe maintenance on FPSOs and bunker vessels. The low-torque operation enables single-person control during tandem offloading operations with integrated position indicator for bridge visibility.

Bullet Points:
✓ Deep-Cryogenic Rated: -196°C operational capability for cryogenic gas valve applications
✓ Fire-Safe Assurance: API 607 certified with 100% post-fire seal integrity
✓ Zero Maintenance: Corrosion-free nickel alloy construction (CRA compliance)
✓ Hazardous Area Certified: ATEX/IECEx for Zone 1 explosive atmospheres
✓ Shipyard Standard: DNV-GL type-approved marine fuel valve

Application Scenario:
During LNG bunkering in Rotterdam harbor, engineers rapidly isolate a leaking manifold using the valve's ice-resistant actuator during -30°C wind chill conditions, preventing transfer interruption.
