0.5-SB-N2XN2 - 6ft Stainless Braided Liquid Nitrogen Transfer Hose 1/2" ID

Industrial Grade Cryogenic Transfer Hose

The JK0.5-SB-N2XN2 is a premium-grade cryogenic transfer hose designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial gas distribution and laboratory applications. Engineered with a 1/2-inch inner diameter, this hose facilitates a high-volume flow rate, making it ideal for decanting liquid nitrogen (LN2) from bulk tanks to portable dewars or for connecting cryogenic supply systems to freezing equipment. The core of the hose is constructed to withstand the thermal shock and extreme contraction associated with cryogenic temperatures, which can reach as low as -320°F (-196°C).

Durability is paramount in cryogenic safety. This assembly features a robust stainless steel outer braid. This braiding serves two critical functions: it provides mechanical armor against abrasion, cuts, and impact in rough industrial environments, and it acts as pressure reinforcement, preventing the inner core from expanding or bursting under system pressure. The stainless steel construction also ensures that the hose remains flexible even when chilled, although users should always exercise caution as any material becomes more rigid at cryogenic temperatures.

The 6-foot length offers optimal versatility for most filling stations, allowing enough slack to connect vessels of varying heights without creating a trip hazard with excess tubing. The end connections are specifically selected for Nitrogen service, ensuring compatibility with standard CGA connections found on liquid cylinders and bulk tanks. This hose is an essential component for welding supply distributors, research laboratories, medical facilities, and food processing plants utilizing liquid nitrogen for freezing or inerting processes.
