Steel Globe Valve

Steel Globe Valve – General Industrial Flow Control

Steel globe valves manufactured from ASTM A216 WCB carbon steel (cast) or ASTM A105 carbon steel (forged) represent the standard material choice for general industrial throttling service across African refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, and manufacturing operations. This versatile material handles non-corrosive fluids from -29°C to 425°C including steam, water, hydrocarbons, and compressed gases where carbon steel provides adequate corrosion resistance at economical cost compared to stainless steel or exotic alloy alternatives.

Carbon steel construction per API 602 and ASME B16.34 specifications dominates African industrial valve installations due to material availability, proven performance history, and cost-effectiveness for applications not requiring special corrosion resistance. The body-bonnet-trim materials balance strength, machinability, and weldability making steel globe valves suitable for Class 150 through Class 2500 pressure ratings spanning low-pressure utility service to high-pressure refinery applications throughout African energy and industrial infrastructure.
