Globe Valves Sub Categories

A Globe Valve, different from ball valve, is a type of valve used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable plug or disc element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body.

​

Globe Valves are named for their spherical body shape with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal
baffle. This has an opening that forms a seat onto which a movable plug can be screwed in to close (or shut) the valve.
The plug is also called a disc.

 

In Globe Valves, the plug is connected to a stem which is operated by screw action using a handwheel in manual valves. Typically, automated globe valves use smooth stems rather than threaded and are opened and closed by an actuator assembly.
