Cryogenic Mechanical Testing

In industries such as the space sector where components and parts are exposed to cryogenic (low and ultra-low) temperatures under operation, material properties at these extreme conditions are very important for the design of such components. There is a demand on new light weight metals or composites and a lack of sufficient extreme temperature engineering data for a safe life design of components such as cryogenic propellant vessels containing liquid oxygen, liquid natural gas or liquid hydrogen.
