In Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) operations, valves and equipment face some of the harshest conditions on Earth: temperatures plunging below -320°F (-196°C), pressures exceeding 750 psi, and constant thermal cycling that causes hardware expansion, shrinkage, and material stress. These challenges demand seals that can maintain integrity over the long term while ensuring safe, leak-free operation. Eff...
