Product Overview
API Globe Valve is an industrial globe valve designed for shut-off and flow control in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation and general industrial piping systems.
Product Features
The disc moves linearly along the seat centerline, allowing precise valve opening control for stable flow regulation.
The disc is pressed axially against the seat, maintaining even contact during operation to reduce uneven wear on the sealing surfaces.
The bolted bonnet design allows direct access to the disc, seat and packing, simplifying inspection and maintenance.
The disc fully seats against the valve seat to achieve positive shut-off for steam, water, oil and other industrial media.

Selection & Maintenance Guide
Service Condition Selection
Select the valve configuration based on the process media, operating temperature, pressure class and operating frequency rather than nominal size alone.
Installation Direction
Install the valve according to the flow direction marked on the valve body, and allow sufficient clearance for bonnet removal during future maintenance.
Routine Maintenance
Periodically inspect the packing, stem and body connections, and check the seating surfaces according to the operating conditions.
FAQ
Q: What media is the API Globe Valve suitable for?
A: It is suitable for steam, water, oil, natural gas and other industrial process media.
Q: Can an API Globe Valve be used for flow regulation?
A: Yes. By controlling the valve opening, it can regulate flow within a certain operating range while providing reliable shut-off.
Q: How do I choose between flanged and butt weld connections?
A: Flanged connections are easier to install and remove, while butt weld connections are better suited for high-temperature, high-pressure and permanently installed piping systems.
Q: Which operating options are available?
A: Handwheel, gear-operated, electric and pneumatic actuators are available to match different operating requirements.
Q: What inspections are completed before shipment?
A: Each valve undergoes shell strength and seat leakage testing before shipment. Material certificates, pressure test reports and related technical documentation are available upon request.
