Extreme temperatures

Description

To manufacture special materials, such as ceramic bricks for aerospace, the company has made cylinders taking the materials into an oven at 830°C. These cylinders are cooled by liquid nitrogen circulation

Features

INOX reinforced PTFE seals
Refractory steel
Non-flammable fluid

Field of activity

Aerospace, iron and steel cast ...

Description

Most of the hydroelectric dams are located at high altitudes and therefore in cold areas.
Level valves are controlled by hydraulic cylinders. These cylinders are made of steels with greater malleability than common steels, guaranteeing elasticity at temperatures below -20°C.
