Used mainly for the control and regulation of steam, water and slightly corrosive fluids, the Type 507 (manual operation) and Type 514 (pneumatically actuated) globe valves (photo) are now available with flanged connections in nominal sizes DN 15–50. The flanged valve bodies are made of cast stainless steel 1.4435 (ANSI 316L). The flanges can be installed and removed more easily compared to butt-weld and threaded connections, says the manufacturer. — GEMÜ Gebr. Müller Apparatebau GmbH & Co.
