All globe valves employ the “port closure” concept, meaning fluid flows through a designated opening controlled by a stem-mounted disc or inserted plug. Unlike gate valves, which offer a straight-through, unobstructed passageway, globe valves excel in two crucial areas: throttling and serviceability under frequent use. They outperform in throttling due to their design, which allows fluid to exit evenly around the seat circumference, rather than slicing through a restricted area. This design ensures superior control and durability, making globe valves ideal for applications requiring precise flow regulation and frequent operation.
