GG VALVES

Flanged Globe Valves

Flanged Globe Valves

Globe Valve are all characterized by a closer member ,usually in discor plug form, which is moved by the actuator perpendicular to a ring shaped seat. The flow passes from the inlet port through these at to outlet port. The types differ mainly in the orientation of the seat to the direction of flow through the valve.

Globe Valves are used primarily for throttling purpose. They are widely used along with Gate Valve in power and process piping system. Globe Valves may be considered a general purpose flow control valves.

Globe Valves are generally faster to open and close then the Gate Valves . Their seating surface are less subject to wear and tear. High pressure drop makes them useful in controlling pressure.

Their high pressure drop may be undesirable in many piping system. In large size they require considerable power to operate, thus necessitating gearing, lever etc. Globe Valves are often heavier then other valves of same flow rating.
