Titanium Globe Valve

Falcon High-Performance Titanium (Grades C-2, C-3, C-5 / B367 Gr. C2, C3, C5) Globe Valves

At Falcon, we engineer and manufacture precision Titanium Globe Valves designed for critical flow throttling, fine regulation, and positive shut-off in the world’s most hyper-corrosive industrial environments. Cast in high-purity ASTM B367 Grade C-2 / C-3 / C-5 (Cast Titanium) and forged from ASTM B381 UNS R50400 (Grade 2) / UNS R56400 (Grade 5), our globe valves offer complete immunity to seawater, wet chlorine gas, hypochlorites, nitric acid, and aggressive organic/inorganic media.

Key Features & Advantages

• Unrivaled Corrosion & Erosion Resistance: Titanium's self-healing oxide film ($TiO_2$) provides virtually $100\%$ protection against seawater erosion, high-velocity brine, wet chlorine, nitric acid, and chlor-alkali chemicals.

• Precision Throttling & Flow Control: Features optimized globe flow channels and precision-ground parabolic plug discs for accurate, stable flow regulation without seat wash or cavitation damage.

• Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Approximately $45\%$ lighter than equivalent stainless steel or nickel-alloy valves, significantly reducing structural piping load on offshore topsides and skids.

• Heavy-Duty OS&Y Construction: Outside Screw & Yoke (OS&Y) layout keeps stem threads isolated from aggressive wetted process fluids, eliminating thread corrosion, galling, and binding under high operating cycles.

• Robust Bolted Bonnet Integrity: Precision-machined, multi-bolt body-bonnet flange with high-integrity alloy bolting ensures leak-proof shell integrity under thermal expansion and piping stress.

• Low Fugitive Emissions: Certified low-emission live-loaded stem packing gland systems (ISO 15848-1 / API 622) guarantee zero leakage of toxic, volatile, or hazardous process media.

Globe Valve Body Patterns Offered

• Standard T-Pattern (Z-Body) Globe Valves:

  • Design: Traditional inline body geometry for dependable flow control and positive seal shut-off.

  • Best For: General severe chemical plant throttling and isolation where standard face-to-face dimensions are required.

• Y-Pattern (Oblique) Globe Valves:

  • Design: Angled stem and seat ($45^\circ$) creating a streamlined, low-resistance internal flow path.

  • Best For: High-velocity throttling applications requiring reduced pressure drop, turbulence, and erosion.

• Angle-Pattern Globe Valves:

  • Design: $90^\circ$ inlet-to-outlet body layout functioning as both a control valve and a $90^\circ$ pipe fitting.

  • Best For: Slurry handling, concentrated brine, or aggressive acid lines requiring direction changes.

• Bellows-Sealed Titanium Globe Valves:

  • Design: Features a welded titanium metallic bellows stem seal forming a hermetically sealed barrier.

  • Best For: Absolute zero-fugitive-emission containment for lethal, volatile, or highly reactive media.

Seating & Leakage Performance

• Titanium-to-Titanium Metal Seats (Standard): Precision-lapped seating surfaces conforming to API 598, ISO 5208 Rate B, and ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV / V.

• Soft-Seated Inserts (Optional): PTFE, RTFE, or Devlon inserts embedded in the disc for ISO 5208 Rate A / FCI 70-2 Class VI (Zero-Leakage / Bubble-Tight) gas performance.

Quality Assurance & Testing Standards

Every Falcon Titanium Globe Valve undergoes comprehensive quality verification before shipment:

• 100% Positive Material Identification (PMI) on all pressure parts and internal trims to confirm exact titanium grade chemistry.

• Hydrostatic Shell & High/Low-Pressure Seat Testing per API 598 and ISO 5208.

• Radiographic (RT) & Dye-Penetrant (PT) surface testing per ASME B16.34 / ASTM standards.

• EN 10204 Type 3.1 & Type 3.2 Material Test Reports (MTRs) for complete heat traceability.
