What is a Globe Valve ANSI B16.10?
A globe valve is a linear motion valve used primarily to start, stop, and regulate flow in a pipeline. Unlike gate valves, which are typically used only for isolation, globe valves offer excellent throttling characteristics due to their internal disc-and-seat arrangement.
The term ANSI B16.10 refers to the American National Standards Institute specification that defines the face-to-face and end-to-end dimensions of valves. In India, ANSI B16.10 is widely accepted and used in projects where interchangeability, standardization, and global compatibility are required. Many Indian industries specify ANSI B16.10 globe valves to ensure easy replacement without modifying pipeline layouts.
Krishna Industries supplies ANSI B16.10 globe valves in multiple pressure classes and sizes, suitable for Indian industrial pipelines operating under demanding conditions.

Design and Construction Features
1. Body and Bonnet Design
Our ANSI B16.10 globe valves feature a strong, pressure-rated body and bonnet design. Depending on the application, valves are available in cast iron, carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel constructions. The bolted bonnet design ensures ease of maintenance and reliable sealing under Indian operating conditions.
2. Disc and Seat Arrangement
The disc moves perpendicular to the seat, allowing precise control over flow rate. This design makes globe valves ideal for throttling applications commonly found in Indian power plants, boilers, and process units. Seat and disc materials can be customized for erosion and corrosion resistance.
3. Stem and Packing
The valve stem is precision-machined to ensure smooth linear motion. High-quality gland packing minimizes leakage, even under high temperature and pressure. This is especially important for Indian industries handling steam, hot water, or aggressive fluids.
4. Flanged End Connections
ANSI flanged ends as per ASME standards allow easy installation and removal. These flanges are widely used across Indian industrial pipelines, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Pressure Classes and Size Range
Krishna Industries offers Globe Valve ANSI B16.10 in commonly used Indian project specifications:
Pressure Class: ANSI 150, 300, 600 (other classes on request)
Size Range: 1/2” to 12” (larger sizes available on request)
End Connection: Flanged
Operation: Handwheel (gear-operated available for larger sizes)
These configurations are suitable for the majority of Indian industrial applications, from small utility lines to main process headers.
Materials of Construction
Material selection is critical for Indian operating environments, where fluid quality, temperature, and maintenance practices vary widely. Krishna Industries provides the following material options:
Cast Iron (CI) – for low-pressure water and utility services
Carbon Steel (WCB) – for steam, oil, and general industrial use
Stainless Steel (SS 304 / SS 316) – for chemical, food, and corrosive media
Alloy Steel – for high-temperature and high-pressure applications
All materials are sourced and machined as per industry norms suitable for Indian standards and site conditions.
