STS Glob Vana PN16 DN32

STS Globe Valve PN16 DN32: Reliable Flow Control in Industrial Installations

STS globe valves are high-performance valves designed to precisely control, shut off, or regulate the flow of fluids such as water, steam, air, and gas in industrial and commercial installations. The nominal pressure class PN16 indicates that this valve can operate safely at pressures up to 16 bar (1600 kPa) , while the nominal diameter DN32 indicates that it is designed for pipelines with a diameter of 32 mm (approximately 1 1/4 in) .

What is an STS Globe Valve and What Does It Do?

Globe valves (or globe valves) are valves that control fluid flow using a linearly moving disc (disc). The disc moves up or down the valve stem, moving toward or away from the seat in the valve body, regulating or interrupting flow. This operating principle allows the valve to provide more controlled flow even at partial openings.

Main Functions:

• Precise Flow Control (Regulation): Thanks to the linear moving disc, the flow rate of the fluid can be adjusted very precisely.

• Complete Sealing: When the disc is firmly seated on the seat, it completely cuts off the passage of fluid and provides high sealing.

• Insulation: Safely isolates pipelines during maintenance or repair.

• High Pressure and Temperature Resistance: With its PN16 pressure class and durable material, it is suitable for high temperature and pressurized fluids such as steam and hot water.

Features and Advantages of STS Globe Valve:

• Durable Material: The body is typically manufactured from high-strength materials such as cast iron (GG25) or ductile iron (GGG) . This provides the valve with superior resistance to harsh industrial conditions.

• High Pressure Resistance (PN16): Resistant to 16 bar operating pressure, makes the valve suitable for medium pressure systems.

• Easy Maintenance: By removing the body cover, the internal parts can be easily inspected and maintained without separating the valve from the pipeline.

• Low Pressure Loss: Thanks to the optimized internal flow path, it creates minimum pressure loss in the fluid passage.

• Connection Type: Generally offered with flanged or threaded connection options.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Can be used safely at temperatures between -10°C and +350°C depending on the material and sealing element.

• Automation Compatibility: In addition to manual handwheel control, it can be integrated into automatic control systems by installing an actuator.

STS Globe Valve Usage Areas:

• Steam and Condensate Lines: Flow control in steam distribution lines, heat exchangers, steam boilers and condensate lines.

• Heating and Cooling (HVAC) Systems: Water and steam control in central heating and cooling systems.

• Industrial Processes: Control of water, oil, gas and certain chemical fluids.

• Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants: Precise control of industrial water and chemicals.

• General Industrial Applications: All applications where precise control and safety of the fluid are critical.
