The rising stem, unidirectional flow, and customizable disc and packing options make them suitable for applications in water, steam, oil, and gas services.
Stringent Testing and CertificationEvery valve undergoes thorough hydrostatic and pneumatic testing following API 598 protocols to guarantee dependable sealing and minimal leakage. Certified for usage with corrosive and non-corrosive fluids, AUDCO (LnT) globe valves consistently meet international quality and safety standards.
FAQ's of AUDCO (LnT) Make Globe Valve:
Q: How does the AUDCO (LnT) Globe Valve operate?
A: The valve features a rising stem mechanism controlled by a manual handwheel. This design moves the disc upward to allow flow or downward to restrict flow, providing precise control ideal for regulating fluid in industrial pipelines.
Q: What industries can benefit from using this globe valve?
A: Due to its robust design and material versatility, the valve is suitable for industries like water treatment, oil & gas, chemical processing, steam distribution, and power generation, where accurate flow regulation and durability are essential.
Q: When should you choose a globe valve with unidirectional flow and which media is it compatible with?
A: A unidirectional globe valve is ideal when flow control in one direction is essential for process safety. It is compatible with water, steam, oil, and gas, including both corrosive and non-corrosive fluids.
Q: Where are these globe valves manufactured and supplied from?
A: AUDCO (LnT) globe valves are manufactured, exported, and supplied from India by leading valve producers, ensuring quality and timely distribution across global markets.
Q: What is the testing process for this globe valve?
A: Each valve is subjected to hydrostatic and pneumatic testing as per API 598 standards. This ensures leak-tight performance, reliable sealing, and compliance with stringent industry requirements.
Q: How do you select the suitable body and stem material for your application?
A: Selection depends on the fluid's corrosiveness, temperature, and pressure conditions. Stainless steel bodies and stems are ideal for highly corrosive media, while WCB or LCB options suit less aggressive environments. Consult application specifics for optimal material choice.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a bolted bonnet and renewable gland packing?
A: A bolted bonnet provides enhanced strength and ease of maintenance, while renewable gland packing allows quick replacement, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous, leak-free operation.
