U. S. Cryogenics strives to maintain close relationships with industry related organizations. Below is a brief listing of our credentials and affiliations.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
ISO is an international standard-setting body composed of one representative from each of its 157 member countries’ standards organizations. Founded in 1947, the organization determines and distributes world-wide industrial and commercial standards.

Our current ISO 9001:2000 certification is valid from September 6, 2007 through September 5, 2010. To view the actual Quality Management Systems Certificate, click U. S. Cryogenics ISO 9001:2000.

The Cryogenic Society of America, Inc. (CSA)
The CSA is a non-profit technical society serving all those interested in any phase of cryogenics--the art and science of achieving extremely low temperatures. The CSA is the only full-time technical society and trade association concerned solely with cryogenics.

As a Corporate Sustaining Member and Research Partner, U. S. Cryogenics has partnered with the CSA to create the Cryogenic Treatment Database, providing a research-driven portal for the cryogenic processing industry.

ASM International, The Materials Information Society
ASM is the largest technical organization concerned directly with metallurgy, with over 125 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Its programs and publications are devoted to all aspects of metallurgy, but emphasize phases in the fields of physical metallurgy.

U. S. Cryogenics holds memberships in several aspects of ASM International. In addition to the main industry organization, ASM International, The Materials Information Society, U. S. Cryogenics also has memberships with the Cryogenics Subcommittee, the affiliated Heat Treating Society and the Oak Ridge, TN Chapter.

Cryogenic Subcommittee
The Cryogenic Subcommittee represents a distinct group that focuses on research and the furthering of the cryogenic services industry, promoting education and participation in the field.
Heat Treating Society (HTS)
The Heat Treating Society was established as an affiliate society of ASM International in 1994. Originally founded in 1913 as “The Steel Treaters Club”, the HTS now serves as the world’s largest network of heat treaters dedicated to education, communication and services in the global heat treating community.
Oak Ridge, TN Chapter
The Oak Ridge Chapter of ASM International, started in 1947, is continually rated by ASM as a 5-Star Chapter. It is committed to materials science education and research & development. The membership also represents companies such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Energy Systems and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
