AET - Large Bore Vacuum Insulated Piping / Hose
Vacuum Jacketed Transfer Lines (6″+) AET Designs and Manufactures vacuum jacketed transfer lines for the cryogenic industry. This application is utilized to transfer gases/liquids with a low boiling point while shielding them from atmospheric interference. These piping assemblies can also include Flex Segments to help with customer connection point alignment. Transferring cryogenic liquid without vacuum jacketing can cost a large amount of money due to heat leaks. Keeping waste costs down can mean more funding for other parts of your project, or in some cases, more end product to sell to your end user.
Large Diameter Hose Considerations
Large diameter vacuum hoses have their own set of manufacturing considerations. Due to the size and use cases requiring these sizes, dye penetrant testing and radiograph examination is often required. AET also performs additional calculations for criteria such as contraction/expansion, heat leak, pressure, and spacer functionality.
Sizes Available: 6″ to 24″ Inner Pipe Size. Larger sizes may be possible given design considerations. Please contact us for more information.
Bayonet Cryogenic Couplings
In addition to vacuum jacketed piping, we can provide our own large bayonet couplings up to 24″ inner pipe diameter. These bayonets are cold shock tested and designed for superior functionality with a simple flange-based connection for easy install.
