GLOBE VALVE is an equipment that has been widely used in the plumbing industry because it effectively controls fluid flow in both opening and closing mechanism and in throttling service. The movement of the fluid through the valve changes from time to time and this is the reason why the pressure drop on the valve increases during the course of use. More often than not, such type of valve contains a stem that is vertically positioned towards the body and the higher pressure fluid stream linked to its pipe provides a tight seal in situations where the valve is fully closed. During the early years, valves are typically designed with metal disks and seats but due to the recent developments with the technology, a number of manufacturers produced valves that have elastomeric disk seal and this innovation have generated valves that are inexpensive and easy to repair.

Going further, in order for this equipment to become fully functional, should always be in a superb working condition and all of it should be properly installed and connected to one another. This equipment indeed demands money and effort and it is just essential that its operator will be able to use it to the fullest. The information below shows the benefits of using this valve.

• One distinctive feature of this valve would be its close regulation. Close regulation is achieved through the proportional relation of the size of the seat opening towards the number of turns executed in the hand wheel. Through this, the operator can manipulate the frequency of flow based on the number of turns made to the hand wheel.
• This type of valve requires fewer turns and this benefit allows the operator to save time, work, and wear. In cases wherein wear happens as an outcome of a severe operation, this simply indicates that the operator needs to still maintain the valve only that it requires easy repairs or renovation.
• The seat and disk can be repaired with ease because there is no need to remove the valve from the pipeline.

Generally, this type of valve can be assembled to ensure that the disk closes against or in the similar direction of the fluid circulation. Once the disc closes against the direction of the flow, the kinetic energy of the fluid delays the closing mechanism but aids in opening the valve. On the other hand, if the disk closes in the same direction of the flow, the kinetic energy generated from the fluid will assist in executing the closing mechanism and will block the opening. This procedure is ideal most especially for operators who are looking for a device that contains a quick acting stop valves. Given that this valve contains a lot advantages, some pitfalls are still present and it includes large openings for disk assembly, its plank mounting of the disk towards the stem, and it is heavier than other valves that contains similar flow rating.

Overall, the uses of globe valve prove to be beneficial in monitoring fluid movement that passes through the pipelines. Ensure that you are able to examine the performance of the valve on a regular basis in order to address concerns about its entire functioning
