B

Documentation

Providing original manufacturer data sheets, material test reports, and recent maintenance logs helps establish the specifications and service history of the valves.

C

Evaluation context

The evaluation of globe valves depends heavily on the body material, trim specifications, overall mechanical condition, and current industrial demand for specific pressure classes.
