Globe Control Valves Series 110

Globe control valves are a type of industrial valve used to regulate fluid flow within piping systems. Unlike other valves, their unique spherical body houses a movable disc and stationary ring seat, enabling precise flow and pressure control.

As a trusted control valve manufacturer, we offer high-performance globe valves designed for durability, efficiency, and versatility across various industries.

A Control valve operates by moving a plug perpendicular to the seat, allowing for controlled flow modulation by increasing or decreasing the flow area. When the valve is open, fluid flows around the plug through the body; when closed, the plug seals against the seat, stopping flow entirely.

Actuation can be manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric, depending on the application. This design provides excellent throttling capabilities, making globe control valves ideal for applications requiring precise flow adjustments.

Yes, globe control valves are generally directional and must be installed correctly to ensure proper function. The flow direction is usually indicated by an arrow on the valve body, guiding fluid through the valve in a way that optimises pressure control and minimises wear. Incorrect installation can lead to reduced efficiency and increased maintenance requirements.

While both gate and globe control valves regulate flow, they function differently. Gate valves use a gate or wedge that moves up and down to start or stop the flow, but offers little control over the flow rate. In contrast, globe control valves enable precise flow regulation due to their throttling capability.

Additionally, gate valves are typically preferred for fully open or closed applications, whereas globe control valves excel in systems requiring intermediate flow control and constant modulation.

Yes, globe control valves are designed for throttling applications, unlike gate valves or general purpose globe valves, which are not suitable for regulating flow. The positioning of the plug within the valve body allows for gradual flow restriction, making them ideal for applications requiring precise adjustments. Industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, and chemical processing frequently use globe control valves for this reason.

Globe control valves inherently cause a pressure drop due to their internal design geometry. As fluid passes through the valve, it changes direction multiple times, creating resistance that reduces pressure. The exact amount of pressure loss depends on factors such as valve size, flow rate, system pressure and trim design. Engineers must account for this when designing piping systems to ensure optimal performance.

Globe control valves are versatile and can handle a wide range of liquids, gases and 2-phase flow. They are commonly used for controlling water, steam, oil, gas, air, and corrosive chemicals.

The choice of valve material, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, Aluminium Bronze or more exotic materials such as Duplex and Super Duplex, determines its compatibility with different substances. In high-pressure or high-temperature applications, selecting the right material ensures longevity and reliability.
