Globe Valve
A multi-turn valve with a disc (plug) that moves perpendicular to the seat. Excellent for throttling due to the gradual change in flow area with disc position. High pressure drop compared to gate or ball valves. Used for flow control, steam service, feedwater, and chemical dosing. Available as T-pattern, Y-pattern, and angle body.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Globe Valve?
A multi-turn valve with a disc (plug) that moves perpendicular to the seat. Excellent for throttling due to the gradual change in flow area with disc position.

What is a Globe Valve used for?
Globe Valves are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Globe Valves certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.
How do I select the right Globe Valve for my application?
Selecting the correct Globe Valve requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
