Globe Valves are part of the linear motion valve family and resemble a globe with a plug-type disc. These valves are excellent for both turn off/on and throttling capabilities.
Similar to the gate valve, the globe valve’s disc moves up unobstructed to allow the flow of media. However, globe valves are a preferred valve option for applications that do not require high-pressure drops.
There are several advantages to using globe valves. Firstly, they have a better shutting mechanism than gate valves. Secondly, wear and tear is not a significant issue even with frequent use. Thirdly, they are easy to repair as disassembly is a straightforward process.
