Angle Globe Valve: Acts as an Elbow, Lower Pressure Drop

Cast Steel Gate & Globe Valves

In an angle globe valve the inlet and outlet are at 90° to each other. The valve acts as an elbow and, because the flow changes direction only once, gives a lower pressure drop than a straight-pattern globe valve.

Overview

Where the piping route changes direction, it saves one elbow and one weld joint. On high differential pressure relief, blowdown and drain lines, flow leaving the seat is directed straight to the outlet, which reduces erosion.

Key features

  • Saves an elbow and a weld joint
  • Lower pressure drop than a straight globe valve
  • Flow direction suited to high differential pressure service

Documentation and testing

On industrial projects the documentation package matters as much as the valve. We confirm the certificate and test scope for every line item at quotation stage:

  • EN 10204 3.1 material certificates for pressure-retaining and wetted parts, traceable by heat number
  • EN 10204 3.2 with third-party inspection, on request
  • Pressure test reports to API 598 or EN 12266-1: shell, seat and, where specified, gas tests
  • Fire-test certificates (API 607 / ISO 10497) for fire-safe type-tested designs
  • PMI reports for alloy and stainless materials
  • Dimensional, visual and coating inspection records
  • PED 2014/68/EU CE declaration for equipment within its scope
  • NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliance statement for sour (H₂S) service

Frequently Asked Questions

When is an angle globe valve preferred?

When isolation or regulation is needed at the same point where the line changes direction, and on high differential pressure relief lines. It saves an elbow and reduces pressure drop.
