Camflex GR: Part of the Camflex Rotary Globe Valve Portfolio

When process plants look to modernize their control valve installations, the challenge is often clear: improve performance, reduce emissions, simplify maintenance, and avoid unnecessary disruption to existing piping. Masoneilan™ Camflex™ GR (Globe Replacement) addresses this challenge by bringing the advantages of the proven Camflex control valve technology into a configuration designed for practical, one-to-one globe valve replacement.

For operators, maintenance teams, and project engineers, Camflex GR offers a smarter upgrade path. Its globe-replacement design enables installation into existing piping layouts, reducing the need for extensive piping changes, additional spool pieces, or complex engineering modifications. Projects can move faster, shutdown windows can be used more effectively, and brownfield modernization becomes easier to justify.

Since its introduction in 1968, the established Camflex platform has built a strong global track record, with millions of units installed worldwide. Camflex GR builds on this proven heritage by combining robust eccentric rotary plug performance with a compact, simplified valve package. Compared with traditional globe valve assemblies, rotary valve technology can typically offer higher flow capacity for a given valve size, with options for reduced capacity trim, less trim components, 100:1 rangeability, and precise control across a wider operating window. Its rotary design can also help reduce part count, potential leak paths, and service complexity, supporting easier maintenance planning and dependable operation in demanding process environments.

Camflex GR is also engineered for the priorities shaping the future of valve selection. With low-emissions ISO-15848-1 packing options and fewer sealing interfaces, it helps plants address fugitive emissions requirements while maintaining consistent control performance. Smooth opening and closing with reliable tight shutoff, make it a perfect option when uptime, environmental responsibility, and process stability all matter.

Camflex GR is available in 1 in. to 6 in. sizes, covering ASME Class 150, 300, and 600 applications, with an EN 558 face-to-face version available from DN 25 to DN 150 in PN 10/16 through PN 25/40. For industries such as refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, oil and gas, and countless others, this makes Camflex GR an attractive option for replacing aging, bulky, or maintenance-intensive globe valves with a smarter solution that delivers reduced complexity, improved maintainability, and a longer lifecycle value.

More than a replacement, Camflex GR is an upgrade strategy for plants that want to do more with existing assets. For operators seeking a practical step forward in valve performance and lifecycle efficiency, Camflex GR is ready to help move applications to the next level.
