Project description
Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded body structure. Their outlook is similar to other valves. Hence, they can only be differentiated on the basis of their internal structure. Globe valves are best suited for throttling service. Their flow characteristics permit accurate and repeatable flow control. However, caution must be exercised to avoid extremely close throttling when pressure drop exceeds 20%. This creates excessive noise, vibration and possible damage to valves and piping.
A lot of globe valve manufacturers do not recommend applications in excess of this due to possible damage to the valve. Globe valve applications are usually found in systems that require frequent vacuum, stroking or systems with varying temperature ranges.
