Cryogenic Breaks from MDC are designed for electrical isolation in cryogenic fluid transmission lines, operating reliably at temperatures as low as -200°C (-328°F). These precision-engineered components are ideal for ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) systems requiring robust insulation under extreme thermal conditions.

Manufactured with thin metal transition zones, these breaks provide flexibility and structural stability at cryogenic temperatures. For seal longevity, thermal gradients must not exceed 25°C (45°F) per minute during temperature transitions. With a maximum pressure differential of 15 PSI (1.03 bar), Cryogenic Breaks are best suited for low-pressure liquid nitrogen service.

Standard installation is performed via the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process, ensuring compatibility with stainless steel piping and UHV system requirements. MDC offers cyan-blue part number identification for cryogenic-rated models.

Industry Applications

MDC Cryogenic Breaks are critical components in cryogenics, superconductivity research, particle physics, quantum computing, and space simulation systems. Their robust electrical isolation and compatibility with ultralow temperature fluids like liquid nitrogen make them essential for high-integrity vacuum setups. Industries benefit from their customizability, enabling integration into unique experimental systems and proprietary instrumentation while maintaining safety and performance under extreme conditions.
