API 608 BS 1873 Globe Valve, Cast Steel, ASTM A216 WCB, 16 IN, CL300

Summary

BS 1873 Globe Valve, Cast Steel, ASTM A216 WCB, 16 IN, CL300 is designed for throttling and isolation in power, refining and process piping. globe geometry supports throttling and tight isolation when trim and Cv are matched to the duty; flanged ends support bolted pipeline integration and inspection access. Carbon-steel pressure parts suit general hydrocarbon and utility service when corrosion allowance and coating are defined on the data sheet. Typical duties include oil & gas, chemical processing, general industrial service. Confirm end connection, trim, actuation and inspection scope against the approved project data sheet.

Features

Product features

  • Cast Steel Globe Valve design
  • Bubble-tight soft-seat sealing

Advantages

Selection advantages

  • Select NPS and pressure class inside the published catalogue envelope; freeze the working size on the data sheet before GA release.
  • Design basis and face-to-face follow the standards shown in the technical grid; do not assume a single standard covers every option.

Plant application

Family plant duties. This SKU still uses the size, class, materials and tests listed on this page.

Steam throttling and bypass

Function
Regulating or bypass service. Use a globe, not a gate, when the valve must throttle.
Medium family
Steam and condensate. Chloride and superheat confirmed on the datasheet.
Pressure & temperature
Cv, differential pressure and temperature from the control/bypass calculation — not a family maximum.
Applicable standards
ASME B16.34, API 623 or BS 1873, and API 598.
Send with RFQ
Inlet/outlet pressure, temperature, Cv or flow, body pattern, trim and bonnet type.
Related application

Process flow regulation

Function
Manual or actuated throttling on process lines.
Medium family
Refinery and chemical process fluids listed on the datasheet.
Pressure & temperature
Cavitation/flashing risk called out by the buyer. Trim selected against that duty.
Applicable standards
ASME B16.34 / API 623 / API 598. Project datasheet controls trim and test.
Send with RFQ
Medium, P1/P2, temperature, flow, trim, ends and inspection documents.

Recirculation and vent/drain regulation

Function
Recirculation, vent or drain service where a globe gives controllable shutoff.
Medium family
Utilities and process drains listed on the piping class.
Pressure & temperature
Size and class per SKU. Packing/bellows only when specified.
Applicable standards
ASME B16.34 and API 598; bellows-seal standards only when that design is ordered.
Send with RFQ
Duty (recirc/vent/drain), size, class, bellows need, ends and leak-test requirement.

Product FAQ

Engineering answers

What size and pressure range is the BS 1873 Globe Valve, Cast Steel, ASTM A216 WCB, 16 IN, CL300 supplied in?

This listing is DN400 (16"), Class 300 / PN50. Confirm the final NPS, class, bore and trim against the approved data sheet.

Which documentation is included in a standard EPC MDR package?

When specified: approved GA drawing, EN 10204 3.1 material certificates, hydrostatic/pneumatic test records to the applicable test standard, NDE reports required by the ITP, coating records if painted, and the ITP release note. CAD/STEP models and bilingual datasheets are issued after size, class and trim are frozen — they are not generic public downloads.

Which design and test standards apply to the BS 1873 Globe Valve, Cast Steel, ASTM A216 WCB, 16 IN, CL300?

Design reference: API 608 / project standard. Face-to-face: ASME B16.10. Pressure test / inspection: API 598. NACE, fire-safe or fugitive-emission clauses are quoted only when the purchase specification requires them.
