Cast Iron Flange Type Globe Valve

BS 5152 PN16 Cast Iron Flange Type Globe Valve – Reliable Flow Control for Indian Industrial Applications

Introduction

The BS 5152 PN16 Cast Iron Flange Type Globe Valve is a critical flow control valve widely used across Indian industries where accurate regulation, throttling, and shut-off of fluids is required. Designed as per BS 5152 standards and pressure rated for PN16, this globe valve delivers dependable performance in demanding operating conditions commonly found in India’s industrial infrastructure.

At Krishna Industries, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, we supply robust and application-tested cast iron globe valves suitable for water treatment plants, HVAC systems, fire protection lines, process industries, utility pipelines, sugar plants, textile units, power plants, commercial buildings, and municipal water supply projects across India.

Unlike gate valves or butterfly valves that are mainly used for isolation, the flange type globe valve is specially engineered for precise flow regulation. Its internal construction allows gradual opening and closing, minimizing water hammer and pressure shock. Because of this advantage, globe valves are preferred over gate valves, non return valves, check valves, and butterfly valves when throttling control is required.

The PN16 globe valve supplied by Krishna Industries features a sturdy cast iron body, accurately machined internal components, and leak-proof flange connections suitable for Indian pipeline standards. The valve is compatible with commonly used Indian flange drilling, making installation easy and economical for contractors, EPC companies, and maintenance teams.

This BS 5152 globe valve is designed to handle water, air, steam (low pressure), and compatible non-corrosive fluids, making it an ideal solution for both industrial and commercial installations throughout India.

Product Overview

The BS 5152 PN16 Cast Iron Flange Type Globe Valve controls flow by moving a disc against a stationary seat, allowing precise throttling and tight shut-off. The valve is operated manually using a handwheel connected to a rising stem mechanism, ensuring smooth and controlled operation even under pressure.

At Krishna Industries, every globe valve supplied undergoes strict dimensional checks, pressure testing, and visual inspection before dispatch to ensure reliable field performance. Our valves are sourced and supplied keeping Indian working conditions, water quality, and operating practices in mind.

Why Choose BS 5152 Globe Valve Over Other Valves?

Compared to gate valves, globe valves offer better throttling control. Unlike butterfly valves, they provide finer regulation at low flow rates. When compared with ball valves, globe valves reduce sudden flow changes, protecting pipelines from pressure shocks.

This makes the cast iron globe valve PN16 an excellent choice where precise control and long-term reliability are required.
