Valve housing modular system and globe valve

A valve housing modular system adapted to provide one of several different functional or constructional configurations for a globe valve configured to adjust a process fluid flow of a process plant, the globe valve including a stroke valve member movable in translation along a stroke axis, the valve housing modular system comprising:

• a housing corpus including a process fluid inlet, a process fluid outlet, a process fluid passage arranged between the process fluid inlet and the process fluid outlet, and an actuating opening configured to introduce an adjusting rod that is configured to actuate the stroke valve member along the stroke axis;
• a housing cover configured to cover the actuating opening, the housing cover including a through opening extending in the direction of the stroke axis that is configured to receive the adjusting rod;
• and
• a plurality of different swappable adapters each configured for one of said different functional or constructional configurations, the plurality of different adapters including at least one first adapter type and at least one second adapter type different from the first adapter type, each of said plurality of different adapters including a cylindrical retaining flange portion having a predetermined flange height and a predetermined flange diameter, wherein:
• the housing corpus further includes a corpus interface adapted to the cylindrical retaining flange portions, wherein a first adapter outer diameter is substantially equal to a predetermined corpus inner diameter;
• the housing cover further includes a cover interface adapted to the cylindrical retaining flange portions, wherein a second adapter outer diameter is substantially equal to a predetermined cover inner diameter, the second adapter outer diameter forming a mounting collar of the adapter to be inserted axially into the cover, and wherein the mounting collar is configured to cooperate with a corresponding mounting inner surface of the cover as a sliding fit or clearance fit;
• and
• the housing corpus and the housing cover are collectively configured to selectively engage an individual one of the plurality of different swappable adapters to provide the globe valve with the corresponding functional or constructional configuration of the individual one of the plurality of different swappable adapters.
