Globe Valve is amongst the most widely encountered valves. They are linear motion valves designed to isolate and regulate the flow of the medium. In comparison to other types of valves, they can provide better shut off, proper sealing, and faster operation. The ease of maintenance of globe valves makes it particularly suitable for services which require frequent valve maintenance in most of the fluid handling process.

A typical globe valve with flanged ends is illustrated in Fig below. They usually have rising stems, and the larger sizes are of the outside screw and yoke construction. They have a specific direction for fluid flow. Depending on the application, the fluid flow can be above or below the disc.

Major Components of the globe valve are 

They can be classified depending on various parameters. 

In general, the valve is identified as per the design of the valve body as given below:

Alternatively, they can also be classified depending upon

These valves have a large range of applications in various industries like shipbuilding, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, etc. 

For highly toxic mediums, bellows valve should be used.
