Double-Seated Globe Valve

A globe valve with two seats and a plug that seats on both simultaneously. Provides inherently unbalanced forces at low pressure drops but allows a smaller actuator because net pressure force on plug is low. Used for large flow control valves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Double-Seated Globe Valve?

A globe valve with two seats and a plug that seats on both simultaneously. Provides inherently unbalanced forces at low pressure drops but allows a smaller actuator because net pressure force on plug is low. Used for large flow control valves.

What is a Double-Seated Globe Valve used for?

Double-Seated Globe Valves are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Double-Seated Globe Valves certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.

How do I select the right Double-Seated Globe Valve for my application?

Selecting the correct Double-Seated Globe Valve requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
