High Pressure Globe Valves for Industrial Flow Control
High pressure globe valves are essential components used to regulate and isolate the flow of liquids, gases, and steam in demanding industrial systems. Designed for durability and precision, these High Pressure Globe Valves operate reliably in power plants, refineries, and process industries where pressure and temperature conditions are extreme.
A globe control valve provides accurate throttling and dependable shut-off, making it suitable for critical process applications. These high pressure valves are widely installed in systems handling steam, compressed gases, and high-temperature fluids. In many industrial pipelines, they also work alongside a Check valve to maintain controlled flow and system safety.
Built with robust materials and engineered for reliability, these valves deliver consistent performance in challenging operating environments where both pressure and temperature stability are required.

FAQ
What does a Class 150 rating for globe valves mean?
A Class 150 rating defines the pressure-temperature limit of the valve according to ASME standards. Typically, it can handle around 19–20 bar (285 psi) at 38°C, with allowable pressure decreasing as temperature rises.
What is a valve class and how does the pressure rating chart work?
Valve class refers to pressure ratings such as Class 150, 300, 600, or 900, indicating how much pressure the valve can safely handle at different temperatures.
What material is used for globe valves?
Globe valves are typically manufactured from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel depending on the operating pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance requirements.
What is the most common globe valve design?
The most common type is the T-pattern or Z-pattern globe valve, which allows precise throttling and reliable shut-off in industrial pipeline systems.
Does a higher CV mean more flow?
Yes. A higher CV value indicates that the valve can allow a greater flow rate under the same pressure conditions.
