With a tensile strength of ≥485MPa and elongation of ≥30%, CF8 delivers robust mechanical performance for high-pressure applications .
2.BS1873 Standard Compliance
Fully adheres to BS1873 specifications for flanged end steel globe valves, including heavy-wall body construction, full-port flow channels, large-diameter rising stem with bracket, and bolted bonnet design . Complies with API 598 and ASME B16.34 standards for inspection, testing, and pressure-temperature ratings, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, interchangeability, and leak-free performance (API 598 Class IV leakage rating) . Suitable for pressure classes up to 2500LB and sizes from DN15 to DN400, meeting the demands of critical industrial pipelines .
3.900LB (PN 150) High-Pressure Rating
Rated for working pressures up to 15.0 MPa (2175 psi) at ambient temperatures, with pressure-temperature ratings aligned to ASME B16.34 standards . The robust design features reinforced body walls and precision-engineered internal components to handle extreme high-pressure conditions, making it ideal for high-pressure steam systems, chemical injection lines, and oil & gas production facilities .
4.Flanged End Connection for Global Compatibility
Flanged ends comply with ASME B16.5 standards, featuring raised face (RF) or ring type joint (RTJ) configurations for secure, leak-proof installation . Compatible with standard industrial flanges, enabling easy integration into existing pipelines and convenient disassembly for maintenance. The flanged design supports high-pressure sealing requirements, ensuring reliability in critical applications .
5.Precise Flow Control & Tight Shutoff
Globe valve's linear motion plug-and-seat design provides accurate throttling and flow regulation, ideal for applications requiring precise media control (e.g., pressure regulation, flow rate adjustment). Precision-machined metallic seating surfaces (with optional Stellite overlay) ensure tight shutoff, meeting API 598 Class IV and ASME B16.104 Class IV leakage standards to prevent media waste and environmental hazards . The BS1873-specified valve seat 孔尺寸 ensures optimal flow characteristics and sealing performance .
6.Robust & Low-Maintenance Design
Bolted bonnet construction with a backseat design allows in-line maintenance—inspection, repair, or replacement of internal components (stem, plug, seat)—without removing the valve from the pipeline . The one-piece forged 304 stainless steel stem features a large diameter (per BS1873 requirements) to withstand high axial forces and torque, preventing deformation or failure in high-pressure operations . The handwheel (or optional gear/electric actuation) offers smooth operation with minimal friction, extending service life.
7.Wide Operating Temperature Range
Suitable for extreme temperature conditions from -29℃ (-20°F) to 538℃ (1000°F), adapting to high-temperature steam systems and moderate cryogenic applications . The austenitic structure of CF8 stainless steel maintains toughness and corrosion resistance across the entire temperature range, avoiding embrittlement or performance degradation.
