Stainless steel dewar cylinders for cryogenic liquid storage and supply

Dewar Cylinders, also known as Cryogenic Dewars or liquid cylinders, are vacuum-insulated containers designed for the storage, transport, and controlled supply of cryogenic liquids such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon, and carbon dioxide (CO2). Available in different capacities and configurations, these cryogenic vessels provide a practical solution for laboratory, medical, industrial, and specialized gas supply applications.

Types of Dewars

Type Description Typical Application
Liquid Nitrogen Dewars Vacuum-insulated containers designed for storing and handling liquid nitrogen. Laboratories, medical, industrial and research applications
Liquid Oxygen Dewars Cryogenic liquid cylinders designed for liquid oxygen storage and supply. Medical and industrial oxygen applications
Liquid Argon Dewars Insulated vessels for storing and distributing liquid argon. Welding, metal fabrication and industrial gas supply
Self-Pressurizing Dewars Integrated pressure-building systems provide controlled liquid withdrawal. On-site gas supply and continuous liquid withdrawal
Transport Dewars Mobile configurations designed for handling and movement of cryogenic liquids. Gas distribution, delivery and logistics
Open and Closed Neck Dewars Different neck configurations selected according to access and evaporation requirements. Laboratory, biological and specialized applications

Dewar cylinders are one type of vacuum-insulated cryogenic storage equipment. For a broader comparison of cryogenic tanks, dewars, and other storage configurations, see our cryogenic tanks guide.
