Frequently Asked Questions

A globe valve is a linear motion valve used to start, stop, and regulate flow in a pipeline. Its design allows for precise throttling due to the perpendicular movement of the disc to the seat.

The valve operates by raising or lowering a disk inside the valve body. As the handwheel or actuator turns, the disk moves vertically, controlling the flow through the valve seat.

Globe valves are used in systems where flow regulation or frequent operation is required. Common applications include steam lines, cooling water systems, fuel oil systems, and chemical processing.

Yes, although globe valves are primarily designed for throttling, they can be used for on/off control. However, ball or gate valves are typically more suitable for pure isolation purposes.

Globe valves offer excellent throttling capability, quick shut-off, and good sealing performance. Their design allows for precise control over flow rate.

They typically have a higher pressure drop compared to gate or ball valves due to the change in flow direction. They are also heavier and require more force to operate.

Globe valves are widely used in power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, HVAC, water treatment, and marine applications.

Yes, globe valves are often used in high-pressure and high-temperature services, especially in steam and power generation systems, due to their robust construction and tight shut-off capability.

Globe valves can be made from a range of materials including cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, stainless steel, bronze, and other corrosion-resistant alloys depending on the application.

Yes, globe valves can be fitted with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators for automated control in industrial systems.

While both are linear motion valves, globe valves are better for throttling and regulating flow, whereas gate valves are ideal for full open or full close isolation with minimal flow restriction.

Globe valve size depends on the system’s flow rate, pressure, and application. It’s important to match the valve's Cv value and pressure rating to your system requirements for optimal performance.
