Globe Valves

A globe valve is used for isolation and throttling flow control. This is achieved by moving the disc against the flow stream rather than across it. The flow pattern through a globe valve involves changes in direction, resulting in greater resistance to flow, causing high pressure drop. The globe valve is an excellent valve to use for on-off service, also highly suited for frequent cycling and control of fluids anywhere in amount or volume between the open and closed positions.
