Globe Valves

1) The globe valve is named after its shape. Its body has an interior partition, and the valve inlet and outlet centers are inline. This configuration forces a change in the direction of flow in the form of an S.

2) The disc impedes the flow of fluid by pressing against the seat in the partition. Concept: Force against.

3) By simply changing the disc shape, globe valves can be used for both throttling (controlling flow rate) and for full-on, full-off flow control.
