Globe Valve

All Globe valves utilize the "port closure" concept of valves. This means that fluid passes through a specific opening (rather than a lateral passageway, as in the case of gate valves), and the fluid is controlled by a stem-mounted disc or inserted plug in that area. Despite lacking the straight, unobstructed passageway of the gate valve, these Globe types are superior in two key aspects: throttling and serviceability under frequent use. They are better at the throttling function because they permit fluid to exit uniformly around the circumference of a seat, rather than "slicing" down to limit passage through a narrowly restricted area. The valve size is available in DN15 to DN900 and #150, #300, #600, #800, #900, #1500 and #2500 pressure ratings with flanged ends.
