Liquid Helium Transfer Hose/Line

CFHT Series

Suitable for Cryogenic Helium, Hydrogen, or Neon

An efficient liquid transfer line is essential when using super-cooled gases that evaporate at a low temperature. To meet these operating requirements, Cryofab helium transfer hose are carefully fabricated using all-welded stainless steel construction and super-insulated to provide the optimum in thermal performance. The inner configuration of all assemblies, whether it be rigid tube or flexible, is stainless steel of minimum wall thickness to reduce cool-down losses and heat leak.

All helium hose assemblies are mass spectrometer leak tested and fully evacuated before shipping to ensure that the unit is ready for immediate use upon receipt.

Cryofab transfer lines are custom built to meet the customer’s specific requirements for configuration, diameter, and length. Special features can be added to enhance the product.

Common applications include MRI and NMR refilling of superconducting magnets, gas distributor trans-fill stations, instrumentation and experimental transfers.
