Unlike gate or ball valves, globe valves are designed to not only shut off flow but also to regulate the flow rate and control pressure within a system. This makes them ideal for applications requiring precise control over fluid dynamics, whether you're managing liquids, gases, or slurries.
Our globe valves can also function as shutoff valves, providing a reliable solution when full flow isolation is needed. This dual function of flow regulation and complete shutoff makes globe valves an ideal choice for complex fluid control systems.
In addition to flow regulation, globe valves can also serve as pressure relief valves or check valves in certain applications. Their versatility and adaptability make them a valuable asset in systems where multiple functions are required without needing additional valve types.
Compared to gate valves or ball valves, globe valves typically experience a higher pressure drop when in the fully open position. However, this tradeoff is offset by the precise flow control and regulation that globe valves provide, making them indispensable in processes where maintaining consistent flow rates and pressures is critical.
