An API globe valve is designed and manufactured according to standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), for reliability, durability, and performance in demanding industrial applications, particularly in the oil and gas sector.
API Globe Valve
Standard of Perfection: API Globe Valve
An API globe valve is an internationally recognized valve for highly industrial applications in fluid flow. Designed according to American Petroleum Institute (API) standard, specifically API 600 for manufacturing, API 623 for larger bore valves, and API 602 for small bore valves, these globe valves are robust and reliable.
Freture provides API globe valves to oil and gas production, refining, power generation, and chemical processing industries, where they are utilized for high throttling or frequent operations, ensuring safety and efficiency. With a globe-shaped body and an internal mechanism that moves a plug against the flow to regulate fluid, they allow for precise control of flow rate and provide good shutoff in any flow operation.
