Globe Valves

Globe valves are a type of valve used in various industrial and commercial applications for controlling the flow of fluids. These valves consist of a movable disc-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. The key feature of the globe valve is its straight-line flow, which minimizes the resistance and pressure drop across the valve, resulting in efficient flow control. Globe valves come in different forms, such as manual globe valves and globe control valves. Manual globe valves are operated manually by a handwheel, suitable for applications where the flow does not need frequent adjustments. On the other hand, globe control valves are operated automatically using an actuator, commonly used in complex systems requiring precise and continuous flow adjustment.

Application features:

• Precise Flow Control: The structure of the globe valve allows for accurate control of fluid flow, making it suitable for situations requiring precise adjustments.
• Durable: The robust design of globe valves, especially those with metal seats, can withstand harsh conditions and high pressures, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to some other valve types.
• Leakage Prevention: The tight seal formed between the disc and the seat of the globe valve helps prevent leaks, enhancing the efficiency of fluid handling systems.
• Wide Range of Applications: From simple water pipelines to complex industrial process control systems, globe valves are versatile and adaptable to a multitude of applications.
• Suitability for Throttling: Due to their design, globe valves are better suited to throttling applications than some other types of valves.
• Manual or Automatic Operation: Globe valves can be operated either manually (via a handwheel) or automatically (via an actuator), making them flexible for different system requirements.
• Ease of Maintenance: The internal parts of a globe valve are easily accessible, simplifying the maintenance and repair process.
• Regulation of Fluid Direction: The unique design of globe valves enables the regulation of the direction of the fluid, which is particularly beneficial in some specific applications.
