Globe Valve
A globe valve is a type of valve commonly used in piping systems to regulate or shut off the flow of fluids. Its design features a spherical body with an internal baffle or partition that directs the flow through an internal passage. This structure allows for precise control over the flow rate and pressure within the system. The valve operates by raising or lowering a movable plug or disc against a seat, effectively regulating the flow through the valve.
This design is particularly advantageous for applications requiring frequent throttling or fine control of fluid flow. Globe valves are widely used in various industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing, due to their reliable performance and ability to handle high pressures and temperatures. Their robust construction and ease of maintenance make them a popular choice for systems where precise control and durability are essential.
