In the last article I discussed brief & important things about Gate Valve. Today I will discuss some basics of Globe Valve.
The Globe valves as name suggests is having a globe type spherical body which is divided in two parts by a baffle. Flow direction is steeply changed in this type of valve so the controlling of flow is better by the movement of restriction element.
Globe Valves
A Globe valve is a type of valve used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. Like Gate valve which is the most common for isolation type service, Globe valves are most common for flow regulation service.
Globe Valves are used when a valve must be opened and closed frequently under high water pressure. They are used to control volume of flow. These valves have two chambers with a partition between them for passage of water that must change course several times from port to port.
Globe Valves should not be used in water supply lines for occasional shut-off purposes.
CONCLUSION
Globe valves are not designed for general shut off conditions.
Globe valves are used for controlling of flow by reducing the pressure.
Angle Valve is a kind of globe valve which changes the flow direction by 90° thus eliminates need of elbow & conventional globe valve combination.

Your article is amazing. It helped me a lot with my research about different kinds of valves and actuators and how this stuff works with other mechanical devices...
again,thanks a lot.

Valves are society's too-often unappreciated friends.
