Globe Valves for Every Application

Globe valve or gate/ball valve?
Choose a globe valve when the application requires flow regulation or throttling in addition to shut-off. Gate and ball valves are designed for full-open or full-closed service and are not suitable for sustained throttling. If the system only requires on/off isolation and low pressure drop is a priority, a gate or ball valve is likely the better choice.

Standard or specialty variant?
For general media including water, steam, oil, and gas, a standard flanged or threaded globe valve is appropriate. For oxygen service, a dedicated oxygen globe valve is required due to the ignition risks associated with standard materials and lubricants in high-oxygen environments. For ammonia service, standard cast iron body valves are not compatible and a material-specific variant should be selected. For cryogenic service below -46°C, an extended-bonnet cryogenic design is needed to protect the stem packing from cold embrittlement. If the process fluid must be kept at a specific temperature as it passes through the valve, a jacketed Y-type model should be specified.

Which connection type?
Flanged connections are the standard choice for larger pipelines and applications where the valve may need to be removed for maintenance. Threaded connections are used for smaller bore pipelines where installation simplicity is a priority. Welded connections provide a permanent, high-integrity joint for installations where disassembly is not required.

Body material
WCB carbon steel is suitable for general service including water, steam, oil, and gas. SS304 (CF8) and SS316 (CF8M) are specified for applications requiring stainless steel, such as chemical service or hygienic environments. For specialty media such as oxygen or ammonia, contact us to confirm the appropriate material selection for your specific application.
