Material of Globe valve internals is stainless steel, bronze, or cast iron. It Contains the inlet and outlet ports for fluid flow.

ComponentFunction
Valve BodyProvides structure and controls the fluid flow path.
BonnetSeals internal components and allows maintenance access.
Valve StemTransfers motion to the valve plug, regulating flow.
PlugControls fluid flow by sealing against or allowing passage through the valve seat.
Valve SeatProvides a sealing surface to prevent fluid flow when the valve is closed.
Packing & GlandPrevents leaks around the valve stem and ensures smooth operation.
ActuatorAutomates valve operation for precise flow control.
Handwheel/LeverAllows manual control of the valve for flow regulation.
Flow PatternDetermines how fluid flows through the valve, affecting pressure drop and throttling.

Why Globe Valve Internals Matter

BenefitDescription
Flow ControlPrecise control over fluid flow, making globe valves ideal for throttling applications.
DurabilityDesigned to withstand high pressures and corrosive fluids, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Leak PreventionSeals prevent leaks, maintaining system integrity and reliability.

Globe valve vs ball valve

FeatureGlobe ValveBall Valve
Flow ControlExcellent for precise flow regulation and throttling.Best for on/off control, not ideal for throttling.
Pressure DropHigher pressure drop due to complex internal flow.Lower pressure drop with a straight-through flow.
Seal TightnessProvides tight seal when fully closed.Reliable seal but designed for on/off, not throttling.
OperationManual or automated with linear motion.Manual or automated with quarter-turn (rotary motion).
Size & CostLarger and more expensive, especially in high-pressure apps.Compact and cost-effective for on/off control.
MaintenanceRequires more maintenance, especially in throttling apps.Low maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
ApplicationsUsed for flow regulation (e.g., steam, water, gas).Ideal for quick shutoff (e.g., pipelines, water).
DurabilityDurable but subject to wear in throttling use.Highly durable with minimal wear in on/off applications.

When to Choose:

  • Globe Valve: For precise flow control and throttling.
  • Ball Valve: For quick shutoff and minimal maintenance.
