Flour - Model BS 1873 - Globe Valves Brochure

FLV Globe valve uses a disc-type/plug, which is always in the path of the flow, to regulate the flow volume; this process is called throttling. A Globe can also be used as a stop valve (for starting and stopping flow). Globe valves are generally characterized for their spherical body with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle.This has an opening that forms a seat onto which the disc, connected to a stem, can be screwed in (if operated manually) or slid in (if automated) to close the valve. However many globe valve designs do not have the traditional round body-shape. Still, valves that contain the same mechanism are referred to as Globe valves. Globe valves have several types of designs: globe, angle, Y-pattern, T-pattern, control, etc.
