Cast Steel Globe Valve

A globe valve is a linear motion valve used to start, stop, and regulate flow in a pipeline. It gets its name from the spherical shape of the valve body. How It Works The valve uses a movable disc (plug) that moves up and down perpendicular to the flow path. The disc fits into a seat to stop the flow. Raising the disc allows flow; lowering it restricts or stops flow. The flow path changes direction inside the valve body, often causing a pressure drop.
