KSB Cast Steel Globe Valve

A cast steel globe valve from KSB is a type of industrial valve used for regulating or throttling the flow of fluids in a pipeline. Globe valves are characterized by a disc element, often referred to as a plug or disk, which is moved perpendicular to the flow axis to control the flow rate.

Here are some general features and characteristics associated with cast steel globe valves from KSB:

1. Globe Valve Functionality: Globe valves are designed for precise control of flow by adjusting the position of the plug or disc inside the valve.

2. Cast Steel Construction: The use of cast steel in the valve body provides strength and durability, making the valve suitable for handling high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

3. Bolted Bonnet or Pressure Seal Bonnet: Cast steel globe valves may have a bolted bonnet or a pressure seal bonnet design, depending on the pressure class and application requirements.

4. Rising or Non-Rising Stem: Globe valves may have a rising or non-rising stem. In rising stem globe valves, the stem physically rises as the valve is opened.

5. Flanged or Butt Weld Ends: The valve ends may be flanged or designed for butt welding, depending on the installation requirements and pipe connections.

6. Renewable Seat and Disc: Some globe valves have a design that allows for easy replacement of the seat and disc, increasing the valve’s service life.

7. Size and Pressure Ratings: Cast steel globe valves come in various sizes and pressure ratings to suit different applications and system requirements.

8. Applications: Globe valves are used in a variety of industries, including power generation, chemical processing, petrochemical, water treatment, and more.
