Aluminum Bronze Globe Valve | Superior Corrosion Resistance for Demanding Service
Engineered for extreme environments where standard materials fail, our Aluminum Bronze Globe Valve offers unparalleled corrosion resistance, exceptional strength, and outstanding de-zincification resistance. This robust valve is the premier choice for handling seawater, brackish water, steam, chlorinated fluids, and aggressive chemicals across marine, offshore, power generation, and industrial applications.
Key Advantages & Features:
Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum Bronze (CuAl alloy, typically C95800/C95500) excels in seawater, brine, sour service, and chemical exposure, far outperforming standard brass or bronze.
High Strength & Durability:
Superior mechanical properties ensure reliable operation under high pressure (e.g., Class 150, Class 300, PN16, PN25, PN40) and temperature.
Dezincification Resistant (DZR): Critically resistant to the selective leaching of zinc, a common failure mode in brass valves exposed to certain waters.
Globe Valve Precision: Provides excellent throttling control and precise flow regulation, ideal for applications requiring fine adjustments.
Robust Construction: Features include:
Bolted Bonnet: Ensures a secure, maintainable seal for long-term integrity.
Quality Gland Packing: Minimizes stem leakage (e.g., graphite, PTFE).
Resilient Seating: Compatible with various trim materials (e.g., Aluminum Bronze, Stellite) for tight shut-off.
Flanged, Threaded, or SW Ends: Standard connection options for versatile piping integration (ASME B16.5, B16.34, EN 1092-1).
Wear & Galling Resistance: Ideal for frequent operation and abrasive media.
Low Maintenance & Long Service Life: Reduces downtime and total cost of ownership in critical systems.
Primary Applications:
Marine & Shipbuilding: Seawater cooling, ballast, firefighting, bilge systems.
Offshore Oil & Gas: Platform seawater injection, cooling, utility systems.
Power Generation: Condenser cooling, auxiliary cooling water.
Desalination Plants: Handling brine, feedwater, and product water.
Chemical Processing: Corrosive fluids, chlorinated water, process streams.
Fire Protection Systems: Reliable seawater or brackish water supply.
HVAC & Industrial Water: Cooling towers, heat exchangers.
Standards Compliance: Manufactured to meet major international standards including API 602, ASME B16.34, BS 1873, EN 12516-1, EN 13709, MSS-SP-80.
