Cryogenic Steel ASTM A553 Class 1 and Class 2

Masteel offers a range of carbon steel plates specifically for cryogenic storage.

Applications of Cryogenic Steel ASTM A553 Class 1 and Class 2

Our range of steels are ideal for the containment or transportation of liquefied gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon which need to be stored at a temperatures below -196°C. The material is a pressure vessel grade which displays resistance to low temperature brittle fracture.

Many of the pressurised storage tanks designed to hold these gases are double walled with an insulation layer to minimise any generation in heat. Considerations should be made not only to the material used but also the fittings required which will also include piping and valves.

Cryogenic Steel Grades

We offer the following steel grades for cryogenic purposes:

Insights into microCT technology: evolvement, applications, and automation

In this interview, Dirk Laeveren and Mark Riccio, Product Marketing Managers for the microCT product line at Thermo Fisher Scientific, discuss microCT, including the possibilities it provides in various applications, and ways to combine it with other visualization techniques.

High-Frequency In-Vacuum Cables—to 40 GHz

For high-frequency signal generation and detection in-vacuum (HV/UHV), Allectra has developed two feedthroughs, the 242-SMAD27G and the 242-SMAD40G, which allow up to 27 and 40 GHz frequencies, respectively. To complement these, we are introducing new K-type SMA cables for in-vacuum use, the 380-SMAK series.
