Globe valves offer precise throttling for high-pressure systems and are ideally suited for the most demanding process applications that have a wide range of temperature extremes.

What are Globe Solenoid Valves?

Globe Valves are so called because of their spherical body shape. Also occasionally known as the ‘Up and over Valve’, this versatile Valve is used for regulating flow in frequent and throttling operation applications. An opening inside the body forms the seat on to which the disc is screwed to close the valve. This has a slightly higher pressure drop than straight through valves – like a ball or gate valve – if it is used for on/off duty. Globe valves are uni-directional and must be installed in the correct flow position.

Advantages and disadvantages of Globe Solenoid Valves

Globe valves have many advantages and disadvantages. Ohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_valvene of the pros is their precise throttling for high-pressure systems. The cons include low-flow coefficients and a longer operating time because the operator is required to manually turn the handle and stem repeatedly to ensure that the valve is fully opened or closed.

Applications for Globe Solenoid Valves

Globe valves are ideally suited for the most demanding process applications. They can be used in systems that call for frequent stroking, vacuum, and systems that have a wide range of temperature extremes. Globe valves can be used for gas and liquid systems. They are not recommended for high purity or slurry systems because inherent cavities promote contamination and allow slurry material to become trapped. This can disable the valve’s operation.
