The JIS 10K cast iron globe valve

Built to JIS F7307, with JIS 10K flange ends.

A rising‑stem globe valve for throttling and isolation, in 2" to 6" (DN50 to DN150), with JIS 10K flange ends and a body in Cast iron — FC on the small band, ASTM A126 B on the large. Rated 10 kg/cm² (10K), designed and manufactured to JIS F7307, inspected and tested to JIS F7400.

Inside, flow turns up through a seat opening, past a disc that lifts squarely off the seat, and turns down again. The stem moves the disc towards or away from the seat, so the gap changes smoothly with stem position and a flow can be set and held. That is the job a gate valve cannot do — a gate parked part open vibrates and wears its seat. The cost is pressure drop even fully open, because the path turns twice. Globe against gate.

  • The test table prints a hydraulic body test of 2.06 MPa, with seal figures of 3.0 MPa on the small band and 1.57 MPa on the large band, quoted as the catalogue has them. These are factory proof tests, not working pressures; we confirm the applicable figure on enquiry.
  • ⚠ At 5" and 6", confirm the dimensions with us before you cut pipe. That band publishes face‑to‑face 330 and 355 mm, flange thickness 23.9 and 25.4 and a 2 mm raised face, where the 2"–4" band uses metric thicknesses of 21 to 25 mm with no raised face — quoted as printed, and we check the size you need against a stocked unit.
  • Rated 230 °C, as published — the figure that governs this valve. The ANSI cast iron version is rated 429 °C; choose by the published figure for the valve you are buying. All ten compared.
  • ⚠ Cast iron is brittle. Support the valve independently, do not use it to pull a misaligned flange together, and do not strike it. On anything that vibrates or gets knocked, use cast steel.
  • Tested to JIS F7400, not API 598. The other nine variants in this range are inspected and tested to API 598. If your specification names API 598 explicitly, this valve does not meet it on paper even though the test pressures are comparable. The standards by variant.

The manufacturer’s sectional drawings, one for each size band. Callout numbers correspond to the matching parts list.

Sectional drawing of a JIS 10K cast iron globe valve, 2 to 4 inch, with numbered callouts
Drawing, 2" to 4"Numbered to match the first parts list. The FC grade on this band is the Japanese cast iron designation — the large band is specified in ASTM terms instead, for the same metal.
Sectional drawing of a JIS 10K cast iron globe valve, 5 and 6 inch, with numbered callouts
Drawing, 5" and 6"The larger band. Its seat and disc gain an SS304 face that the smaller sizes do not have — and its dimension table is the one we would ask you to confirm before ordering.
  • The item numbers are the manufacturer’s. They are the callout numbers from the sectional drawing, which is why a number can repeat a part name at a different position. We have left them exactly as published so a spares order matches the drawing.
  • The seating surfaces are what wear. On a valve that runs part open, flow through the gap is fast, and the disc face and seat take that. They are the parts to ask about first.
  • Everything here is published, not on request. If you need to know what touches your fluid, the whole list is above.

Sizes and dimensions

6 sizes. Dimensions in millimetres.

The dimension that decides whether the valve fits is face‑to‑face L — the gap it needs in the pipe run. A globe valve is longer face to face than a gate valve of the same size, so it is not a drop‑in replacement for one. Letters follow the manufacturer’s drawing; where a letter is ambiguous we have left it as published rather than guess.

  • ⚠ Measure the gap in the run against face‑to‑face L. On a replacement, measure the valve coming out rather than trusting a drawing — and if you are replacing a gate valve, expect the globe valve to be longer.
  • Leave headroom for the stem. The stem rises as the valve opens, so the closed height is not the open height. Height H where published is the closed figure.
  • Leave room to turn the handwheel. Handwheel W is its diameter, and a globe valve takes many turns rather than a quarter turn. Send us the space you have if it is tight.
  • Support the weight. A valve must not hang on the pipework, and on the larger sizes here that matters.

  • ⚠ Do not design to these figures. They are manufacturing proof tests well above the working rating — the shell test proves the body, the seal test proves the disc against its seat. The valve is not intended to operate there.
  • Gas tightness is 0.6 MPa, the same figure across all ten variants in this range. It is the one number that does not move with class, size or material.
  • The temperature ceiling is the material, not a seat insert. A globe valve seals metal to metal and packs the stem with graphite, which is why the steel variants here reach 425 °C where a PTFE‑seated ball valve stops at 150. All ten compared.

Fitting and operating it

Four things that decide whether it works.

  • Flow under the seat, normally. Line pressure then helps lift the disc, the packing sits out of the throttling stream, and the valve opens against less force. Check the arrow on the body and fit it that way round — a globe valve fitted backwards still works, but it throttles worse and wears its packing faster.
  • It is allowed to sit part open. That is what it is for. Set the position with the handwheel and leave it. Unlike a gate valve, nothing is being damaged by running in between.
  • Expect pressure drop even fully open. The flow path turns twice. If you need a straight‑through path and only ever want on or off, a gate valve or a ball valve is the right tool.
  • Do not close it with a bar. A globe valve seals with the disc pressed onto its seat, and the handwheel gives you enough leverage already. Over‑tightening deforms the seating faces, and on this valve the seat is part of the body on the forged variants — there is nothing to replace.
  • Re‑tighten the gland if the stem weeps. A little and evenly. Graphite packing takes some adjustment; a leaking stem left alone will cut the stem itself.

Not sure this is the right one?

Duty first, then end connection, then material.

Choose this one when

  • You need to set and hold a flow, not just open and shut.
  • Your pipework takes JIS 10K flange ends — checked, not assumed.
  • Working pressure is within 10 kg/cm² (10K) and temperature within 230 °C.
  • The duty suits Cast iron — FC on the small band, ASTM A126 B on the large.
  • Your specification names JIS F7307 or JIS F7400.

Questions we get asked

The ones that come up on the phone.

What is the JIS 10K cast iron globe valve?

A rising‑stem globe valve for throttling and isolation, 2" to 6" (DN50 to DN150), with JIS 10K flange ends and a body in Cast iron — FC on the small band, ASTM A126 B on the large. Rated 10 kg/cm² (10K) for service at 230 °C. Designed and manufactured to JIS F7307, inspected and tested to JIS F7400. Shell tested at 2.06 MPa.

What is a globe valve for, and why not use a gate valve?

A globe valve is built to run part open. Flow turns up through a seat opening, past a disc that lifts squarely off the seat, and turns down again — so the gap changes smoothly with stem position and a flow can be set and held. A gate valve must not be parked part open: the gate sits in the stream, vibrates, and cuts its own seat. Use a globe valve to set a flow, a gate valve or a ball valve to go fully open or fully shut with the least pressure drop.

Can I use it to replace a gate valve of the same size?

Usually not without changing the pipework. A globe valve is longer face to face than a gate valve at the same size — at 2" in cast steel it is 203 mm against 178. It also drops more pressure when fully open. Measure the gap in your run against the face‑to‑face figures before ordering, and if the answer is that only a gate valve fits, we stock ten of those too.

Which way round does it go in?

Normally flow under the seat, so line pressure helps lift the disc and the packing sits out of the throttling stream. Check the arrow cast or stamped on the body and follow it. Fitted the other way it still works, but it throttles less well and wears the gland faster.

What temperature can it run at?

The published figure is 230 °C. A globe valve seals metal to metal and packs the stem with graphite, so the body material sets the ceiling rather than a polymer seat — which is why the steel variants in this range reach 425 °C against 150 °C for a PTFE‑seated ball valve. Several variants publish figures that do not line up with each other; we set all ten out and flag every one.

What is it made of?

The body is Cast iron — FC on the small band, ASTM A126 B on the large and the trim is A276 410 stem, stem nut, gland and back seat. The full numbered parts list is on this page, with the manufacturer’s own item numbers so a spares order matches the drawing.

What are the test pressures?

2.06 MPa shell or body test, 1.57 MPa on the large band and 3.0 MPa on the small band, as printed seal test, and 0.6 MPa gas tightness. Those are factory proof tests, not working pressures — do not design to them. Gas tightness is 0.6 MPa on all ten variants in this range. The figures.

Will it fit my pipework?

It has JIS 10K flange ends, and end dimensions to JIS B2210. That has to match what you have — and on a flanged valve the pressure rating does not answer the question, because ANSI 150 and JIS 10K are rated similarly and drilled differently. Send us the end type and size, or a photo of the mating flange, and we will confirm. All ten end types compared.

How many turns to open it?

Many — a globe valve is not a quarter‑turn valve. The stem rises as it opens, so the handwheel position tells you the disc position, which is what makes it usable for setting a flow. Travel is shorter than a gate valve of the same size, because the disc only has to clear the seat rather than rise clear of the whole bore.
