BS 1873 Flanged Stainless Steel CF8 Globe Valve

Engineered for precise flow regulation and reliable shut-off in corrosive environments, the BS 1873 Flanged Stainless Steel CF8 Globe Valve delivers exceptional performance and durability.

Manufactured from high-quality ASTM A351 CF8 stainless steel (cast equivalent of 304), this valve offers outstanding resistance to general corrosion, oxidation, and a wide range of chemical media. Designed strictly to BS 1873 standards and compatible with ASME B16.5 flange dimensions, it features a robust bolted bonnet construction and a plug-shaped disc that moves linearly along the valve seat centerline. Equipped with standard Raised Face (RF) flanged connections, this CF8 globe valve ensures smooth flow control, reliable sealing, and seamless integration into critical chemical, petrochemical, and water treatment piping systems.

Key Features & Benefits

· BS 1873 Standard Compliance: Designed and manufactured strictly to BS 1873 specifications, ensuring dimensional compatibility, structural safety, and reliable performance in global industrial infrastructure.

· CF8 Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from premium ASTM A351 CF8 cast stainless steel, providing superior general corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and durability in demanding chemical and marine environments.

· Precise Throttling & Shut-off: The plug-shaped disc moves linearly along the valve seat, with the port change directly proportional to the disc stroke, making it ideal for both precise flow regulation and reliable isolation.

· ASME B16.5 Flanged Connections: Compliant with ASME B16.5 standards, ensuring easy installation, secure sealing with non-metallic gaskets, and leak-proof performance in standard piping systems.

· OS&Y Rising Stem Mechanism: Features an Outside Screw and Yoke design with a non-rotating rising stem, providing a clear visual indication of valve position and protecting stem threads from corrosive media exposure.

· Versatile Trim Options: Available with 13% Cr, 304/316 stainless steel, or Stellite hard-faced trim to suit various corrosive and erosive media requirements.

FAQ

Q: What does CF8 mean in stainless steel globe valves?
A: CF8 is the ASTM A351 standard casting grade for 304 stainless steel. It offers excellent general corrosion resistance, good formability, and high-temperature strength, making it ideal for chemical processing, water treatment, and food industries.

Q: Why choose BS 1873 standard for globe valves?
A: BS 1873 is a British standard specifically designed for steel globe and globe stop and check valves. It ensures precise dimensional compatibility, reliable throttling performance, and structural safety for flanged and butt-welding end connections in petroleum, petrochemical, and allied industries.

Q: What is the temperature range for a CF8 stainless steel globe valve?
A: A CF8 (ASTM A351) stainless steel globe valve can typically handle temperatures from -196°C (cryogenic) up to +425°C. For continuous high-temperature service above 200°C, material strength and pressure ratings may need to be derated according to ASME B16.34 standards.
