J-VALVES
Structural Features
LCC Low-Temperature Carbon Steel Material:The valve body is made of ASTM A352 LCC low-temperature carbon steel with strictly controlled chemical composition and low phosphorus and sulfur content. It fully passes -46℃ Charpy V-notch impact test (≥20J), guaranteeing excellent toughness and crack resistance at low temperatures and preventing cold brittleness fracture.
Right-Angle Flow Path Design:The inlet and outlet form a 90° angle (angle pattern), changing flow direction while fitting the layout of pipeline bends, reducing elbows and simplifying piping design. A Y-type inclined stem design is also available to lower flow resistance and improve flow capacity.
Globe Valve Regulation Characteristics:The disc lifts along the centerline of the seat with short opening/closing stroke. When closed, the disc and seat sealing surfaces fit tightly for reliable shut-off. When partially open, the annular orifice between disc and seat enables precise flow control, making it ideal for regulating service.
Flanged Connection:The valve body is equipped with RF (Raised Face) or RTJ (Ring Type Joint) flanges conforming to ASME B16.5 Class 600. For 12-inch Class 600 flanges: outer diameter 699mm, bolt circle diameter 615.9mm, 20×M36 bolts, flange thickness 81mm, ensuring reliable connection under high pressure.
Flat Face Sealing:Both disc and seat feature flat surfaces, easy to machine, suitable for general service conditions.
Conical Face Sealing:Tapered disc matches tapered seat with high specific sealing pressure, suitable for high-
pressure conditions.
Throttling Disc:Needle-type or parabolic disc head delivers superior regulation performance for precise flow control.
Low Operating Torque:The stem nut uses friction-reducing materials (copper alloy or self-lubricating composite) with precision machined threads to minimize lifting friction for easy manual operation. Gearboxes or electric actuators are optional for large sizes.
Fire-Safe Design:In compliance with API 607, graphite packing and metal sealing components maintain sealing integrity in fire scenarios, preventing secondary hazards caused by low-temperature medium leakage.
Blowout-Proof Stem:The stem is integrally forged and top-entry mounted with anti-blowout steps and sealing rings. Even if the packing gland accidentally loosens, the stem is retained by the bonnet for operational safety.
Graphite Packing Seal:The stuffing box uses flexible graphite braided packing or graphite ring assemblies. With a wide temperature range (-196℃ to +500℃), no hardening at low temperatures and excellent self-lubrication, ensuring long-term reliable dynamic stem sealing.
Guide Rib Design:Internal disc guide ribs are integrated in the valve body to ensure stable lifting without deflection, uniform loading on sealing surfaces, avoiding jamming and scoring, and extending service life.

Air Separation Plants: Suitable for low-temperature air, nitrogen and oxygen pipelines in large ASU units. Right-angle design optimizes layout for reliable control of large-bore low-temperature gases.
Low-Temperature Chemical Processes: Used in 12-inch process lines for ethylene, propylene, ammonia and other high-pressure low-temperature chemical plants for precise regulation and safe isolation.
Natural Gas Processing Plants: Applied in dehydration, dehydrocarbonization and desulfurization low-temperature units for flow and pressure control.
Refrigeration Systems: Used in large industrial refrigeration and cold storage systems for refrigerant flow control.
Advantages & Value
Guaranteed Low-Temperature Toughness: LCC material fully tested at -46℃ eliminates cold brittleness risks, ensuring safe control of LNG, LPG and other cryogenic media.
High-Pressure Reliability: 600LB (102bar) class meets high-pressure low-temperature conditions. 12-inch large bore supports high-flow delivery as key equipment for large cryogenic systems.
Space-Optimized Right-Angle Flow: 90° flow direction reduces pipe elbows, adapts to confined installation, lowers pressure loss and installation costs.
Precise Regulation: Globe valve structure provides linear or equal-percentage flow control, superior to gate valves, supporting automated process control.
Low-Temperature Bolt Compatibility: A320 L7/L7M bolts tested at -100℃ match LCC body, preventing flange leakage from bolt embrittlement.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: Bolted bonnet design allows online replacement of disc, seat and packing without cutting or welding, cutting maintenance time by 60% and minimizing downtime loss.
Flexible Actuation: Gearbox, pneumatic and electric actuators available, supporting 4-20mA/HART/Modbus protocols for easy integration into DCS/SCADA for remote monitoring and automatic control.
