Not just a one-hit wonder.
The cryogenic solutions we supply, service and support can be used in a wide range of applications, from cryostats and helium recovery systems, to cooling systems and air separation units/plants.
Our products can also be constructed for use in vacuum insulated pipework, and if required, we offer thermal design calculations and ancillary additions such as sensors, filters/strainers and various actuation packages ensuring we have the right solution for your application.
How Boiswood solves these challenges with 35+ years of engineering insight
The cryogenic valve range is used mainly in the liquefaction and refrigeration of Helium and Hydrogen, but also extends to other fluids such as Argon, Neon, Xenon as well as Nitrogen and Oxygen.
We can help with manual, pneumatic and electric cryogenic valves in shut-off, control and check/non-return designs. Additionally, the product portfolio is completed with high-pressure valves, ejectors and transfer line couplings.
At a glance, partnering with Boiswood means:
- A specialist portfolio of cryogenic valves in manual, pneumatic and electric actuation options, for shut-off/on-off, control and check/non-return functionalities.
- The highest standards of testing and certifications to ensure your system is fully compliant.
- Assistance with design, selection and customisation of your cryogenic valves to ensure the best solution is delivered.
- Full bill of materials support for ancillary products including pressure sensors, gauges, temperature sensors, fittings and tubing.
Our portfolio for the Cryogenics sector includes:
Proven solutions for critical Cryogenics applications
Our cryogenic bellows valves are designed by experts, manufactured using the highest quality materials and tested rigorously to ensure they are fit-for-purpose.
Typical specifications include temperatures ranging for 1 to 373K (-272 to +100°C), diameters of 2 to 250mm (1/12” to 10”) and pressures up to 1,000 BAR are possible.
- Cryogenic globe and flow control valves in bellows sealed designs
- Cryogenic ejectors and Johnston couplings
- Cryogenic temperature sensors and thermocouples
- Cryogenic pressure sensors and pressure gauges
- Cryogenic solenoid valves

Your questions, answered by our experts
Can I order a custom cryogenic valve?
Yes, outside of our standard range of cryogenic valves, we encourage our customers to take advantage of the customisation capabilities that are available.
If you require special connections, lengths, flow paths, actuation options or ancillary equipment fitted, we are here to guide the solution for you.
My operating temperatures aren’t as low as LN2, what can I use?
Sometimes operating temperatures are not going as low as -196°C, for example in cases we see liquid CO2 applications that are only operating at around -56°C. In these scenarios, we can sometimes use products from our standard portfolio with special seal materials that will suit.
Which manufacturers do Boiswood work with?
Our core partners for Cryogenic solutions include WEKA, Rotarex and WIKA Instruments.
A full list of our partners can be found here.
