Ratermann has built a strong reputation of being the reliable solutions provider for a wide range of cryogenic and compressed gas applications, and a lot of those solutions are driven directly by input from our customers.

Flow rate and pressure are constant concerns with cryogenics. When the demand for gas outpaces the output of the liquid cylinder, both pressure and flow rates will drop accordingly. This is when a vaporizer can save the day.

Ratermann is excited to announce two new sizes of the Arctic Fox microbulk tanks: 7500L and 8100L! The new sizes round out our full Arctic Fox mini and microbulk offering from 1500L to 8100L, covering a wide range of needs and applications.

Every component of a bulk tank is important for its operation, but from a safety standpoint, the single most important part is the diverter assembly. Why? It holds the main ASME pressure relief valves that are crucial for safe tank operation and preventing catastrophic failures. Every tank that Ratermann sells has a Herose diverter assembly included.

In the early days of cryogenic bulk tanks, fitting a tank with valves and instrumentation was a lot more complicated and involved, as customer needs grew to include check valves, strainers, relief valves, and drain valves in addition to the primary top and bottom fill components. It took hours of welding and brazing to build up a tank, which greatly limited how many tanks could be outfitted and put into operation.

Copper tubing is a popular material in cryogenics because of its ductile nature at low temperatures. But copper is not immune to pinholes and cracking due to daily wear-and-tear and weaknesses introduced by contaminants and general exposure to the elements.
