API low temperature globe valve
The API Low Temperature Globe Valve is engineered for handling liquefied gases, cryogenic fluids, and low-temperature liquids. Its specially selected low-temperature alloy body and trim provide excellent toughness and corrosion resistance. The globe valve’s design ensures tight sealing, smooth throttling, minimal leakage, and safe operation under extreme low-temperature conditions.
API low temperature globe valve
The API Low Temperature Globe Valve is designed for industrial applications requiring safe and precise control of cryogenic liquids such as LNG, liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and other low-temperature fluids. Engineered in compliance with API 623 and API 602 standards, the valve features a robust body, high-integrity sealing, and precise disc movement for smooth throttling.
The valve can be manually or electrically actuated and supports OEM customization for body materials, seat types, connection styles, and actuator options to meet cryogenic process requirements. Its construction ensures minimal thermal contraction, stable operation, and long service life under sub-zero conditions.
API Low Temperature Globe Valves are manufactured and tested in accordance with international standards:
