American Standard Extended Stem Globe Valve

The American Standard Extended Stem Globe Valve is a globe valve designed according to American standards, primarily characterized by its specially extended stem. This extended stem design does not alter the fundamental function of the globe valve but is engineered to meet specific extreme operating conditions, particularly when handling cryogenic (e.g., LNG, liquid oxygen) or high-temperature media, and when the valve is installed in pipelines requiring thick insulation. The extended stem effectively isolates the valve's packing and operating mechanism from extreme temperature zones, protecting seals and operational components from damage, while allowing operators to access and manipulate the valve from outside the insulation layer.
