Globe Valves are among the most popular type of valves used in various applications. These valves are similar to gate valves and use linear motion to throttle flow. They are used to control the flow in a pipeline and they regulate by the position of a movable disk (or plug) in relation to the stationary ring seat. The major advantage of a globe valve is, it does not leak as much as other valves.
Advantages
- Globe valves throttling, the full-closing characteristic is good.
- The opening-closing time is shorter.
- The body ring seating surface process is easier.
- They can be used as stop-check valves.
- They contain positive shut-off
Applications
- Global valves are used primarily for throttling purposes. They may be considered as general-purpose flow control valves that are used for high-temperature applications.
