Precision-Engineered for Demanding ApplicationsBuilt as per BS 5352/API 602 and ASME B16.34 standards, this globe valve is designed for use in industrial piping systems handling steam, oil, gas, or water. Its strong forged steel body, straight-through/globe pattern, and choice of seating types ensure robust performance and tight shut-off.
Flexible Installation and OperationAvailable in sizes from 15 mm to 50 mm and end connections including BSP, NPT, socket weld, butt weld, and flanged, this manual handwheel-operated valve fits seamlessly into new or existing pipework. Both bolted and welded bonnet versions offer versatility for various process requirements.
Rugged Construction and Lasting FinishWith anti-corrosive paint or forged finish, black or silver body (based on trim), and forged carbon steel or stainless steel options, these valves stand up to harsh working conditions. Temperature resistance up to 425C means durable use in high-temperature applications.
FAQ's of AUDCO (LnT) Make Forged Steel Globe Valve:
Q: How does the AUDCO Forged Steel Globe Valve control flow in industrial applications?
A: The valve features a rising stem design that allows precise regulation of flow by moving the plug against the seat. This makes it particularly effective for throttling or shutting off steam, oil, gas, or water in industrial process lines.
Q: What testing and inspection process is followed for these valves?
A: Each valve is 100% factory tested hydrostatically as per API 598 standards to ensure tight shut-off, leak-proof sealing, and reliable performance under pressure.
Q: When should I choose a bolted bonnet versus a welded bonnet design?
A: A bolted bonnet is ideal when frequent maintenance or seat replacement may be required, while a welded bonnet offers superior leak prevention and strength for high-pressure environments where disassembly is less frequently needed.
Q: Where are these globe valves typically installed?
A: These valves are suitable for installation in industrial piping, steam/process lines, and any system requiring flow control of steam, oil, gas, or water, especially in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Q: What are the advantages of using this globe valve in steam or high-temperature applications?
A: Constructed from forged carbon steel or stainless steel with anti-corrosive finishes and pressure/temperature ratings up to ASME Class 2500 and 425C, these valves provide durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable sealing in demanding conditions.
Q: How do I select the correct end connection and port size for my application?
A: You should base your selection on your pipeline design and compatibility; options include BSP, NPT, socket weld, butt weld, or flanged connections, and port sizes from 15 mm up to 50 mm. Review system pressure, media, and installation specifications before selecting.
Q: What benefits does the renewable/integral seat offer in this valve?
A: A renewable seat allows for easier maintenance and replacement, prolonging valve life. An integral seat, formed as part of the body, provides extra reliability in high-stress applications where servicing is less common.
