Globe valves are a common type of valve used in various industrial and commercial applications. They are characterized by their distinctive globe-shaped body and a plug that moves perpendicular to the flow path. One of the primary functions of globe valves is throttling, which allows for precise control of the flow rate. By adjusting the position of the plug, the valve can create a variable orifice, effectively restricting or allowing the passage of fluid. This makes globe valves ideal for applications where precise control of flow is essential, such as in chemical processing, power plants, and HVAC systems. Globe valves are applied widely in several applications because of ;
Precise Flow Control: Globe valves are excellent for throttling and regulating flow, allowing for fine adjustments to the flow rate.
Reliable Shutoff: They provide a tight seal when closed, which is crucial for stopping flow during maintenance or emergencies.
Durability: Globe valves are robust and can handle high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments.
Less Abrupt Flow Changes: They help prevent water hammer by making flow changes less abrupt.
Ease of Maintenance: The top-entry design allows for easier access to internal components, making maintenance more straightforward.
