Globe Valves

Globe Valves

Globe valves differ from gate valves in the way the disc movement is parallel with the direction of flow. The torque applied through the operator directly clamps the sealing surfaces together. The manual operating time is approximately ¼ of that of an equally sized gate valve. Because of this, globe valves are better suited to applications where frequent operation is required. However the operating torque required to operate is higher.
