GLOBE VALVES FOR SALE

Globe Valves for Precise Flow Control

Globe valves stand as a cornerstone in fluid control systems across a myriad of industries. Renowned for their durability and precision, these valves are engineered to manage the flow of liquids and gases with unparalleled accuracy. At Blackhawk Supply, we offer a wide array of globe valves, catering to the diverse requirements of our clients. Whether you're dealing with water, steam, oil, or gas, our globe valves ensure optimal performance and reliability.

What Are Globe Valves?

A globe valve is a specialized valve designed for throttling and controlling fluid flow. Their spherical body shape, from which they derive their name, houses a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat. The precise control over fluid flow makes them an indispensable part of systems requiring fine operational tuning.

Applications of Globe Valves

Globe valves excel at regulating and throttling flow due to their linear plug movement. They're widely used across various industries, including:

• Water and Wastewater Management: They regulate the flow and prevent backflow in treatment and distribution systems, ensuring clean water access and sanitation.

• Steam Systems: Controlling the flow of steam is critical for heating or processing, where globe valves provide reliable operation under high pressure and temperature.

• Oil and Gas Industries: Managing the flow of oil, gas, and other petrochemicals with precision is essential for safety and efficiency, making globe valves invaluable in this demanding sector.

• HVAC Systems: Adjusting water flow in heating and cooling units to maintain desired temperatures in buildings.

How to Choose the Right Globe Valve

When choosing the globe control valve for your system, it's important to ensure efficiency and longevity. Control input, spring return type, and voltage requirements are key in matching a valve to its intended application.

Globe Valves by Control Input

Choosing the right control input ensures precise valve operation tailored to your system's needs:

• 0-135 Ohm: Suited for systems requiring basic resistive feedback for globe valve positioning, often found in legacy or less complex control setups.

• Floating: Ideal for HVAC and light industrial applications needing binary position control (open or closed) for simple yet reliable valve operation.

• Modulating: Essential for places demanding continuous adjustment of flow, such as process industries and sophisticated HVAC systems where precise temperature or pressure control is critical.

• On/Off: Perfect for straightforward applications where a valve either fully opens or closes without needing modulation, simplifying control systems.

• Belimo MFT (Modulating): Designed for cutting-edge systems requiring precise valve control and feedback, adaptable to a wide range of industrial applications where accuracy and reliability are of the utmost importance.

Globe Valve Fail-Safe Types

The right fail-safe mechanism ensures system integrity and safety in case of unexpected events:

• Electronic Fail-Safe: Crucial for safety-sensitive environments where valve position must default to a safe state upon power loss, preventing uncontrolled flow or potential hazards.

• Non-Spring Return: Applicable in systems where valve position upon power failure is not a safety concern, offering a cost-effective option where manual resetting is acceptable.

• Spring Return: A must-have in systems like fire protection and HVAC, where valves must return to a start or end position for safety and operational integrity, ensuring system functionality even after a power outage.

Globe Valves by Voltage Requirements

• 24V: A safe, low-voltage option for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, minimizing electrical hazards and often integrating easily with building control systems.

• 120V: Common voltage for North American applications, providing robust power for valve operation in residential and commercial settings.

• 24-240V: Offers flexibility for use in various global industrial settings with differing voltage standards, making it suitable for international systems.

How to Choose a Globe Valve Material

To ensure long-term performance and compatibility, you might need to consider the body material of the globe valve.

• Bronze offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it a good choice for water, steam, and non-aggressive fluids. It's also a cost-effective option. However, bronze has limited strength at high temperatures and can be susceptible to dezincification (loss of zinc content) under certain conditions.

• Stainless steel delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and maintains its strength across a wide temperature range. It's ideal for chemically aggressive fluids but comes at a higher cost compared to bronze or cast iron.

• Cast iron is sturdy and suitable for general water service, offering a cost-effective solution. Unfortunately, cast iron is prone to corrosion over time and isn't suitable for many chemicals or high-temperature applications.
