Ari Armaturen’s commitment to quality is reflected in their comprehensive in-house production—from foundry to final assembly. This vertical integration ensures precision control, fast turnaround, and consistency in manufacturing, making them a trusted brand in power plants, chemical processing, HVAC, and the wider steam industry.
Ari Armaturen Globe Valves are engineered to offer precise flow regulation and dependable shut-off in demanding applications. These valves are ideally suited for throttling duties, particularly where flow control, noise reduction, and tight sealing are required. Designed with a linear motion plug that moves perpendicularly to the seat, they provide excellent control characteristics.
Common applications include steam systems, heating and cooling lines, and high-pressure liquid or gas services. Ari’s globe valves are available in a range of materials, pressure ratings, and actuation options to suit both manual and automated systems.
The Ari Armaturen FABA+ Globe Valve is a bellows sealed design that delivers enhanced safety and leak-free operation, especially for steam, condensate, and hazardous media. Its key feature is a fully enclosed stainless steel bellows that isolates the stem from the flow, eliminating gland packing and minimising emissions.
Available in PN16, PN25, PN40, and ANSI flange patterns, the FABA+ is constructed from nodular iron, cast steel, or stainless steel. The flexible modular system allows for a wide selection of trims, actuators, and accessories, making it suitable for everything from district heating to chemical processing.
Whether you need high-temperature resistance, vacuum-tight sealing, or long-term reliability, the FABA+ Globe Valve is engineered to perform under pressure—literally.
For standard throttling and isolation applications, the Ari Armaturen STOBU Globe Valve offers robust performance with a traditional gland packing system. Available with flanged connections and in materials such as nodular iron, cast steel, and stainless steel, the STOBU range is ideal for water, steam, and oil-based systems.
This valve provides an economical yet dependable solution where bellows sealing may not be necessary. Designed to withstand high operating pressures and temperatures, the STOBU Globe Valve maintains tight shut-off characteristics over extended periods of use. It’s widely used in heating systems, boiler circuits, and general pipeline duties.
Choosing Ari Armaturen Globe Valves means investing in durability, safety, and engineering excellence. These valves are designed for long service life, easy maintenance, and optimal performance. With a wide range of models, pressure classes, and material combinations, Ari’s globe valve range ensures the right fit for any industrial process.
Conclusion
Ari Armaturen Globe Valves stand at the forefront of industrial valve technology, offering industry-leading solutions for flow regulation and shut-off. From the advanced FABA+ bellows sealed design to the reliable STOBU gland packed option, Ari provides globe valves you can count on—no matter the challenge. With German manufacturing standards and global support, Ari Armaturen continues to be a trusted name in steam and industrial process control.
FAQs
1. What is a globe valve used for?
Globe valves are primarily used for throttling and isolating flow in pipelines. Their design allows for precise control of flow rate.
2. What makes the Ari FABA+ Globe Valve different?
The FABA+ valve features a bellows seal, offering leak-free operation and protecting against stem leakage—ideal for hazardous or high-pressure systems.
3. When should I use the STOBU valve instead of the FABA+?
The STOBU is suited for general service applications where bellows sealing isn’t essential. It's a cost-effective option for water, steam, and thermal oil systems.
4. Are Ari Armaturen globe valves available with electric or pneumatic actuators?
Yes, both the FABA+ and STOBU valves can be supplied with pneumatic or electric actuators for automated control.
