Product Overview
The KOZO F316L Forged Globe Valve is designed for compact small-bore high-pressure corrosive service where controlled shut-off or throttling is required. The forged construction provides a compact pressure body, while the globe-style plug and seat allow regulation within the limits of the selected trim.
Why F316L?
ASTM A182 F316L is a forged molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless-steel grade widely used in chemical and process piping. The low-carbon composition can be beneficial for welded assemblies and corrosion resistance in suitable environments.
Key Design Features
- ASTM A182 F316L forged body.
- Globe-style plug and seat for isolation or throttling.
- API 602 / ASME B16.34 design family.
- SW, threaded, butt-weld or flanged connections.
- Bolted, welded or pressure-seal bonnet options depending on configuration.
Technical Specifications
| Valve Type | Forged Globe Valve |
|---|---|
| Body Material | ASTM A182 F316L |
| Size Range | 1/2 in – 2 in |

Typical Applications
- Corrosive small-bore process lines
- Chemical utilities
- High-pressure instrumentation and process piping
- Steam/condensate where material and trim are suitable
Selection Notes
For throttling service, pressure drop, velocity, cavitation and trim erosion should be reviewed. Temperature capability depends on the complete pressure class, packing and trim system rather than the body material alone.
How to Specify
Please provide size, class, medium, temperature, end connection, trim, bonnet style, leakage requirement and required testing.
FAQ
Can this valve be used only for isolation?
No. Globe valves can also be used for flow regulation when the trim and pressure-drop conditions are suitable.
