About National K Works, Inc | NKW
NKW has been the leader in Vacuum flask technology for over 45 years. We design and manufacture flasks to protect instrumentation from extreme temperatures and harsh environments.
For over 45 years, NKW has designed and manufactured innovative pressure and temperature solutions for customer instruments deployed in hostile environments. NKW's expertise is world renowned for high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) vacuum flasks and pressure housings. Many NKW flasks remain in service decades after they were born.
NKW also provides its customers with expertise and insight even before manufacturing our tools, during the concept development and design for manufacturing (DFM) phase. From concept, through FEA, in-depth CFD thermal modeling, and application of proprietary knowledge that spans decades and already includes over 500 vacuum flask designs, our team continues to exceed expectations.
Equipped with its engineering-led, manufacturing expertise, NKW is expanding into new, related markets with its expertise in extreme HPHT engineering. These new markets include aerospace, defense, and industrial research. For example, NKW is now qualified to manufacture NASA Class 1 Life-Critical Spaceflight Hardware. The company's activities also include product development (taking a client’s early concept to final and tested field worthy product through our engineering and manufacturing).
