Cryogenic Market
Spaulding has over 25 years of expertise supplying special composite materials for cryogenic applications. Spaulding has been instrumental in the development of cryogenic grades of glass epoxy materials. Spaulding's cryogenic materials are widely employed in applications where they come in direct contact with liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. Our specialty materials are used with superconducting magnets and large-scale lab equipment such as particle accelerators.
Features and Benefits
Spaulding thin-wall cryogenic neck tubes provide high-strength, impermeable structures that provide low heat loss and long-term vacuum retention.
Spaulding has perfected the process of winding and machining neck tubes. Spaulding can machine and grind the required complex ribs and contours on your neck tube application to ensure a perfect fit with mating metal components.
Spaulding can wind cryogenic tubes up to 18 inches in diameter. We have an extensive inventory of mandrels to allow for prompt delivery of virtually any required inside diameter.
Spaulding also specializes in low-permeability tubes co-wound with diffusion barrier foil.
Spaulding has the capability to fabricate and machine complex structural and insulation components for cryogenic applications
Grades
G-10 NT: Spaulding's fine-weave glass epoxy tubing material is specially formulated for cryogenic neck tube applications. It has excellent machinability and low permeability. This allows G-10-NT grade to be machined to thin-wall sections to reduce heat flow and still provide long-term leak free performance.
| Compression Strength: | 50,000 PSI |
| Density: | 1.74 g/cc |
| Water Absorption: | 0.10 % |
G-10 CR: Spaulding's medium weave glass epoxy cryogenic tubing material exceeds all G-10 requirements. This material has been characterized at low temperatures by major labs such as NIST, Los Alamos etc. It has been widely used as structural elements and electrical insulators in cryogenic applications.
| Compression Strength: | |
| Room Temperature | 37,000 PSI |
| 77 Kelvin | 79,500 PSI |
| Density: | 1.75 g/cc |
| Water Absorption: | 0.10 % |
