Brugg Pipes AG is providing specialized cryogenic pipelines for a European aerospace company aiming to test new propulsion fuels, including liquid methane. The project involves two 185-meter-long flexible, vacuum-insulated pipelines that connect a cryogenic fuel tank to an engine testing facility.

These pipelines are engineered to handle temperatures as low as -200 degrees Celsius and include a redundant leakage monitoring system. The manufacturing process, executed in Wunstorf, Germany, produced single lengths of 90 and 95 meters to minimize connection points, enhancing installation efficiency and operational safety. The project also involved strict quality assurance and technical planning.
