In the realm of industrial fluid control, globe valves have long been regarded as one of the most reliable and precise components for regulating flow. At NSW, we continue to push the boundaries of engineering by delivering high-performance globe valves that are trusted across industries including oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, water treatment, and HVAC systems.
What Is a Globe Valve?
A globe valve is a linear motion valve used to start, stop, and regulate flow. It is named for its spherical body shape, although modern designs may vary. The valve consists of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. This configuration provides excellent throttling capabilities, making globe valves ideal for precise flow control where leakage and pressure losses must be minimized.
Key Applications
NSW globe valves are widely used in applications where accurate flow regulation is required. Typical environments include:
1.Steam and condensate systems
2.Chemical process lines
3.Boiler feedwater systems
4.High-pressure water pipelines
5.Cooling systems in power plants
6.Cryogenic and high-temperature applications
Thanks to their ability to offer fine control over flow rate and pressure drop, globe valves from NSW are often deployed in control valve configurations, either manually operated or actuated for automatic control.
Material Options for Varied Needs
NSW understands that material compatibility is essential in corrosive and high-stress environments. That’s why our globe valves are available in a broad range of materials:
✅Carbon Steel (WCB, A105): Ideal for general-purpose industrial applications.
✅Stainless Steel (CF8M, CF3, CF3M, F304/F316): Excellent corrosion resistance for chemical and food-grade applications.
✅Alloy Steels (WC6, WC9, C12A): Designed for high-temperature, high-pressure service in power plants and refineries.
✅Bronze and Brass Alloys: Often used in marine, potable water, and low-pressure steam applications.
✅Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steels: High strength and superior corrosion resistance in seawater and offshore environments.
Additionally, we offer customized trims, stem materials, and gasket options depending on media type, pressure class, and operating conditions.
Sizes and Pressure Ratings
NSW globe valves are available in a wide range of sizes from ½” up to 24″, with pressure classes from ANSI 150 to ANSI 2500, as well as DIN and JIS standards. All valves undergo rigorous quality testing and are compliant with international certifications including API 602, BS 1873, EN 13709, and ISO 9001.
Actuation and End Connections
To meet project-specific requirements, NSW globe valves can be delivered with various actuation options, including:
1.Manual handwheel
2.Pneumatic actuator
3.Electric actuator
4.Hydraulic actuator
Available end connections include:
-Flanged (RF/RTJ)
-Butt weld
-Socket weld
-Threaded (NPT/BSPT)
Quality You Can Trust
All NSW globe valves are manufactured under strict quality control systems, ensuring optimal seat tightness, leak prevention, and mechanical reliability. Each valve is pressure-tested in accordance with API 598 or customer-specified protocols.
With decades of experience in valve manufacturing and export, NSW has built a reputation for technical excellence, fast delivery, and customized solutions. Whether you’re working on a refinery shutdown, a thermal power project, or an infrastructure upgrade, our globe valves are engineered to perform—and built to last.
