Cryogenic Society Of America

The Cryogenic Society of America (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 — almost absolute zero. The purpose and objectives of the Cryogenic Society of America are to: - encourage the dissemination of information concerning low temperature processes and techniques - bring together those in all disciplines concerned with the applications of low temperature technology - promote research and development of low temperature processes by meetings, professional contacts, papers, reports and publications - increase public awareness of the usefulness of cryogenic technology CSA was formed in 1964 and derived most of its initial members from the aerospace industry. However, the membership is now diversified to include engineers, physicists, other scientists, sales representatives, technicians, all levels of management, systems designers and operators and a host of other occupations — with a wide range of academic degrees and from more than 47 countries. In 1971, the Helium Society was incorporated into CSA. Membership in CSA is on either an individual or a corporate sustaining basis. Our members work within the Society to fulfill its purpose and objectives. Networking with others in this specialized field is a valuable benefit of membership. CSA includes engineers and physicists, company CEOs, technicians, sales and marketing executives, laboratory heads, persons working at the national labs, at NASA, in academia, in research and development, and also in practical sales of products and services to the cryogenics community, worldwide. It is important to note that CSA does no lobbying. We are a non-profit educational organization.
