Yes. West Cryogenics manufactures brand new GOrilla & Ultra Cryogenic Liquid Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon Tanks and Dragon Vaporizers in their ASME Code plant in Willis, Texas. And- clients are welcome to come and watch the manufacturing work being done. You can see everything from welding nozzles on heads and then welding the heads to shells and performing ASME pressure tests to seeing how super-insulation wrapping is done and vessels are sealed and mass-spec tested to be sure they are leak free. Then you can see the heated and cool vacuum processing, sand blasting, painting, and piping…… not to mention also getting to see cleaning materials for oxygen service and performing tests and analyses.
When you really think about it this ranks with touring the Blue Bell Ice Cream and Dr. Pepper plants except that manufacturing brand new cryogenic vessels in the United States is a lot less common than ice cream or soda pop. I have to say this in a very qualified manner, though, because it is a bit of an understatement to refer to Blue Bell simply as “ice cream” or Dr. Pepper as “soda pop.” It is more likely that they, in fact, are the very real modern personification of “milk and honey.” And well, you know, GOrilla Tanks, Ultra Tanks, and Dragon Vaporizers are mighty fine, too. And- They are all manufactured new in the U.S.
