Globe valve uses a disc-type/plug, which is always in the path of the flow, to regulate the flow volume; this process is called throttling.

Globe valves are linear motion closing-down valves used to start, stop or regulate the flow using a closure member referred as a disc. The globe valve disk can completely close the flow path or can be removed entirely. The seat opening changes proportionately with the travel of the disc which is ideal for duties involving flow regulation. Globe valves are most suitable and widely used for throttling and controlling fluid flow and are generally employed in small size piping.

A Globe can also be used as a stop valve (for starting and stopping flow).

Globe valves are generally characterized for their spherical body with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle. This has an opening that forms a seat onto which the disc, connected to a stem, can be screwed in (if operated manually) or slid in (if automated) to close the valve.

However, many globe valve designs do not have the traditional round body-shape. Still, valves that contain the same mechanism are referred to as Globe valves.

Globe valves have several types of designs: globe, angle, Y-pattern, T-pattern, control, etc.

Application

A complete range of globe valves, ideal for throttling and shut off services for oil & gas, petrochemical, power, offshore and other demanding applications. Designed for duties where high flow efficiency, tight shut-off and long service life is a prime requirement. A wide choice of shell and trim materials does cover the whole range of applications, from the every-day type of non-corrosive service to critical service with highly aggressive media.
