A globe valve is a type of flow control valve used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is designed to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, and other materials through a system by using a movable disk-shaped element. This element is connected to a stem, which is connected to a handwheel or lever. By turning the handwheel or lever, the user can open or close the valve, allowing for precise control of the flow rate. Globe valves are most commonly used in high-pressure applications, such as steam systems, and are available in a variety of sizes and materials. They are also used in many applications where a precise control of the flow rate is necessary, such as in chemical plants, water treatment plants, and oil and gas pipelines. Globe valves are highly reliable and durable, making them a popular choice for many industrial and commercial applications.
