Valve Overview

What Is a Cast Steel Globe Valve?

A cast steel globe valve is a linear-motion valve that controls flow by moving a disc or plug relative to a stationary seat. This movement changes the flow passage, allowing the valve to regulate the amount of fluid passing through the pipeline.

Globe valves are commonly selected for flow-control duties and can also provide shut-off when the valve's design and sealing performance are suitable for the application. Their flow characteristics and pressure drop depend on the internal design and operating conditions.

Flow Regulation

The disc or plug changes the available flow passage to regulate flow according to the valve design and operating conditions.

Shut-Off Capability

A globe valve can provide shut-off when its construction and specified sealing performance suit the application.

Material Selection

Body and internal component materials must meet the process medium and operating environment requirements.

Construction & Components

Cast Steel Globe Valve Construction

The construction of a cast steel globe valve generally includes a body, bonnet, stem, disc or plug, seat and sealing components. The materials and design of these components must be compatible with the process medium and operating environment.

Before selecting a valve, confirm the following requirements:

  • Nominal valve size and connection dimensions
  • Operating pressure and temperature
  • Cast steel body material grade
  • Disc, stem, seat and trim material requirements
  • Process medium and material compatibility
  • End connection type
  • Required flow-control performance
  • Applicable design standards, inspection and testing
Technical note: Confirm the exact construction, material grades, ratings and available configurations against the applicable product datasheet.
