BS5152 PN16 Cast Iron Globe Valve

Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded globular shaped bodies. Since their shape is similar to other valve bodies, positive identification must be made based on internal piping. Recently globe valves have lost their traditional round body-shape. Globe valves have many advantages and disadvantages for users. They have excellent and precise throttling ability for high-pressure systems. The disadvantages include low-flow coefficients and a longer operating time because the operator must turn the handle and stem many times to ensure the valve is completely open or completely closed. Globe valves can be used in systems that require frequent stroking, vacuum, and systems that have a wide range of temperature extremes. Globe valves use a linear motion disk and function to start, stop, and throttle fluid flow.
