Industrial Flow Control Application-Based Selection Technical Specification Review
Globe Valve Overview

What Is a Globe Valve?

A globe valve is a linear-motion valve that controls flow through the movement of a disc or plug relative to a stationary seat. Its internal flow passage is designed to support flow regulation, making globe valves suitable for applications requiring flow control as well as shut-off.

Actual flow characteristics, pressure drop and control performance depend on the valve's internal design, size and operating conditions.

Flow Regulation

The disc or plug changes the available flow passage as the valve is operated. Performance depends on the specific design and service conditions.

Shut-Off Function

A globe valve can provide shut-off when its design, seating arrangement and operating conditions are suitable for the application.

Application-Based Design

Valve selection should account for pressure, temperature, process medium, material compatibility and required flow characteristics.

Construction & Components

Globe Valve Design and Construction

A globe valve generally consists of a body, bonnet, stem, disc or plug, seat and sealing components. These parts work together to control the flow passage as the valve is operated.

Material and construction requirements depend on the process medium and service conditions. Review the following details before selecting a valve:

  • Nominal valve size
  • Operating pressure and temperature
  • Body and trim material requirements
  • Process medium and material compatibility
  • End connection type and dimensions
  • Required flow-control characteristics
  • Operating method and installation requirements
  • Applicable standards, inspection and testing
Technical note: Confirm the exact components, material options, ratings, standards and available configurations against the relevant product datasheet before specifying a valve.
Industrial Use Cases

Industrial Applications of Globe Valves

Globe valves may be considered for industrial flow-control and isolation duties where the selected valve configuration meets the process requirements.

Process Piping

Industrial process lines requiring specified flow regulation or isolation.

Water & Utilities

Utility systems where material compatibility and operating conditions are suitable.

Steam & Thermal Systems

Applications requiring review of temperature, pressure and valve design.

Power Generation

Selected plant services based on project specifications and service conditions.

Oil & Gas

Pipeline and process duties subject to the applicable project requirements.

Chemical Industries

Process applications where wetted materials are compatible with the medium.

Application suitability depends on valve design, material compatibility, pressure-temperature limits, process medium and required flow-control performance.
Valve Selection Guide

How to Select the Right Globe Valve

Provide complete operating and connection details so the proposed valve configuration can be reviewed against the intended application.

1

Define the Application

2

Confirm Valve Size

Specify the nominal valve size and required connection dimensions.

3

Check Operating Conditions

Provide normal and maximum operating pressure and temperature.

4

Identify the Process Medium

Confirm the fluid and any relevant chemical or material compatibility requirements.

5

Select Suitable Materials

Check body, disc, stem, seat and sealing materials against the service conditions.

6

Review Flow Requirements

Consider required flow rate, pressure drop and control characteristics.

7

Confirm Standards and Documents

Identify applicable design standards, testing requirements and project documentation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Globe Valves

What is a globe valve used for?

A globe valve is commonly used to regulate fluid flow and can also provide shut-off when its design is suitable for the application.

How does a globe valve work?

Operating the valve moves a disc or plug relative to the seat, changing the available flow passage and controlling the amount of fluid that passes through.

What is the difference between a globe valve and a gate valve?

Globe valves are commonly selected for flow regulation because of their internal flow-control design. Gate valves are generally used for on-off isolation rather than routine throttling.

Which factors matter when selecting a globe valve?

Important factors include valve size, pressure, temperature, process medium, material compatibility, end connections and required flow-control performance.

Where are globe valves used?

They may be used in industrial process piping, utility systems, steam systems and other applications where the selected valve configuration meets the service requirements.
