The cryogenics industry has changed drastically in the past ten years. Although the general population may know very little about the business, those of us in the industry realize its significance as it impacts medicine, construction, transportation, electronics, and numerous other markets.
And as technology expands, so too does the opportunity to expand into other industries. This means there’s a greater demand for cryogenic and liquefied gases, but this also means that there will be an increased demand for effective measurement.
This creates some challenges and it’s important to focus on offering technology that produces the critical link to the revenue stream and not only offer measurement, but a complete reporting system. The system must be easily integrated, easy to understand, and must reduce cost. The goal is to provide a solid, efficient, and most importantly, accurate investment, while also reducing the use of one resource that can’t be manufactured—time.
Moving Past the Meter
At cryogenic conditions, liquids provide little lubrication for moving parts and the thermal shock of fluids at these low temperatures can pose problems for transport. Keeping elements cold, below boiling points—and also ensuring that these materials are in their purest forms can be difficult but not impossible.
