Our shrink fitting is matched by none in terms of its effectiveness and affordability. This process is achieved by cooling inner components in liquid nitrogen to -196°C. Our shrink fitting is matched by none in terms of its effectiveness and affordability. This process is achieved by cooling inner components in liquid nitrogen to -196°C. We then effectively ‘shrink’ them down to enable use to assemble them.

When this action has been completed, said component is expanded and warmed up. And the end result is something that we have been renowned for.

A massive advantage of opting for Liquid Nitrogen Shrinking is the reduced risk in damage. This is due to Liquid Nitrogen having little metallurgical effect on certain materials.

With that being said, why waste money on other methods which could potentially cause damage? With our extensive expertise in this field we’ll ensure that your materials are kept in good order.

Liquid nitrogen shrink fitting is one of the safest methods of assembly as it is inert and therefore quite safe to use in a workshop situation provided there is adequate ventilation. The components will suffer no damage, as liquid nitrogen has no permanent effect on ferrous or non-ferrous metals; certain austenitic irons excepted.
