News 16/07/2025Fire Safe shut-off valve 2141: Stainless steel valve for extreme, cryogenic temperatures

GOETZE is launching the shut-off valve 2141, a stainless steel valve that is fire-safe tested (ISO 10497:2024 & API 607, 8th ed.) and suitable for cryogenic applications down to –196 °C – ideal for cryogenic (liquefied) gases.

The new 2141 Fire-Safe shut-off valve – Safe in an emergency

With the 2141 shut-off valve, GOETZE is expanding its portfolio with a technically outstanding solution for extreme operating conditions: a stainless steel shut-off valve that has been specially developed for use in cryogenic applications and in safety-critical systems with flammable or fire-accelerating media.

 

Why the new certification makes a difference

Compared to the previous API 607 (7th edition), the requirements in the current 8th edition have been significantly tightened:

  • Stricter leakage limits, especially for gaseous media – greater safety for flammable cryogenically liquefied gases.
  • Realistic post-fire testing – the valve must be able to close again and remain tight.
  • More precise temperature monitoring with at least six thermocouples on critical components.
  • Standardised test reports for better comparability and complete documentation.
  • Testing of all safety-relevant components – including seals, attachments and housing connections in the fire area.
  • These improvements make the GOETZE 2141 shut-off valve one of the most technically safe solutions on the market – ideal for applications where every detail counts in an emergency.

 

Cryogenic applications for deep-cold (liquefied) gases

The GOETZE 2141 shut-off valve is the ideal choice for:

  • Industrial and energy engineering systems
  • Tanks and cryogenic systems
  • Systems in hazardous areas – with flammable or fire-accelerating media
  • Biogas plants, power-to-gas
  • Gas filling stations

Thanks to its stainless steel construction, modular design and secondary seal, the valve combines high operational reliability with long-term ease of maintenance.
