Seawater Globe Valves aluminium bronze globe valves used in marine applications for seawater media

Globe Valves are operated by turning a handwheel, this handwheel is located on a threaded stem (Rising or Non Rising, Inside / Outside screw) which connects to a plug device. On operation the plug (disc) is lifted out of the path of the fluid (Seawater). When fully open, the globe valve has a slight obstruction in the flow path due to the design (to accomodate the plug). Globe Valves get their name from the design of thier body which is globe shaped.

Globe valves are ideal for regulating (throttling) the flow of liquids and open much quicker then gate valves making them an ideal solution when frequent operation

Bonnets (Covers - top half of the valve) provide leakproof closure for the valve body. Globe valves bonnets come in various configurations some may have

Union Cover / Bonnet
Bolted Cover / Bonnet

Union bonnet is suitable for applications requiring frequent inspection and cleaning. It also gives the body added strength. Bolted bonnet are mainly used for larger valves and higher pressure applications.

Globe valves can have flanged ends which are drilled according to pipeline compatible flange dimensional standards,although screwed and butt weld ends are also available

The ideal material for seawater is Nickel Aluminium Bronze because of its excellent corrosion fatigue and galvanic corrosion in comparason to austenitic and duplex stainless steels.
