Forged Steel Globe Valve – African Valve
African Valve is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Forged Steel Globe Valves in Africa, offering precision-engineered valves for high-pressure and high-temperature service. These valves are ideal for modulating or throttling flow in critical pipeline systems where durability, accuracy, and leak-tight shutoff are essential.
Function & Working
Forged steel globe valves use a linear motion disc that moves perpendicular to the seat, allowing precise control over fluid flow. When the handwheel or actuator turns, the disc rises or lowers, modulating the flow path through the valve body. This design provides superior throttling capability compared to gate or ball valves.
