Industrial Globe Valves Manufacturer & Supplier

Forex Valves manufactures and supplies industrial globe valves for piping systems where controlled flow, reliable shut-off and consistent operation are important. Our valves are designed for industrial services involving liquids, gases, steam and other process media.

A globe valve regulates flow by moving a disc toward or away from a fixed seating surface. This arrangement allows the valve opening to be adjusted according to the required flow condition, making it suitable for systems where flow regulation is an important operating requirement.

Based in Ahmedabad, India, Forex Valves serves customers across India and international markets with valve configurations selected according to application requirements, operating conditions and project specifications.

Different process systems require different valve configurations. Depending on the application, Forex Valves can provide a range of construction and design options.

Cast Steel Globe Valves Suitable for demanding industrial services requiring robust construction.
Carbon Steel Globe Valves Designed for general industrial and process applications.
Stainless Steel Globe Valves Available for services where corrosion resistance is an important consideration.
Alloy Steel Globe Valves Suitable for selected high-temperature and demanding process conditions.
Forged Globe Valves Compact construction for applications requiring high mechanical strength.
Pressure Seal Globe Valves Designed for selected high-pressure and high-temperature services.
Bellows Seal Globe Valves Used where stem sealing and emission control are important.
Jacketed Globe Valves Available for process applications requiring temperature management.

Material, size, pressure class, seating arrangement and operating method can be selected according to the service conditions and project requirements.

How Does a Globe Valve Work?

A globe valve operates through the movement of a disc against a stationary seat. The position of the disc determines the available flow passage.

Open Position: When the stem is raised through a handwheel or actuator, the disc moves away from the seat and creates a passage for the process fluid.
Flow Regulation: When partially opened, the position of the disc changes the available flow area. This allows the operator to adjust the flow according to process requirements.
Closed Position: When the stem moves the disc onto the seat, the flow passage is closed and the valve provides isolation.

This operating principle makes globe valves particularly useful in systems where controlled flow adjustment is required.

Key Benefits

Controlled Flow Regulation

The linear movement of the disc allows the valve opening to be adjusted progressively, helping operators manage flow in process and utility lines.

Reliable Closure

Appropriate seating and trim configurations can provide dependable closure when the valve is correctly selected for the intended service.

Robust Construction

Industrial-grade body and internal materials can be selected according to pressure, temperature and fluid characteristics.

Wide Application Range

Globe valves can be configured for steam, water, hydrocarbons, gases and various process fluids.

Flexible Operation

Depending on valve size and installation requirements, operation can be provided through a handwheel, gearbox or actuator.

Applications of Globe Valves

Globe valves are used across a wide range of industries where controlled flow adjustment or dependable isolation is required.

Oil & Gas
