What is a Globe Valve?
Globe valves take their name from the perforated and rotating sphere inside them. Basically, this perforated sphere is rotated at 90-degree angles with the help of the handle on top of the valve to control the flow passing through the system. When the valve handle is aligned with the flow, the hole in the sphere is also aligned with the flow, and the fluid flows freely. When the handle is rotated 90 degrees perpendicular to the valve, the system is closed and the flow is cut off. Globe valves are primarily preferred in places where rapid opening and closing is required. Globe valves are one of the commonly preferred types of metal valves due to their good sealing properties, low pressure loss, easy opening and closing, and taking up less space in the pipeline.
