Globe control valve

A globe control valve varies flow area through linear plug movement relative to a seat and is used for process modulation. Its sliding-stem geometry distinguishes it from rotary control valves, but the title establishes no Cv, flow characteristic, leakage class, or special trim. Sizing must use process conditions, pressure drop, noise considerations, and actuator behaviour.

Application and duty

Process-variable modulation with a globe body sized for actual conditions

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Continuous modulation of flow, pressure, temperature or level with the required flow characteristic

Control-valve selection requires capacity sizing plus cavitation, flashing, noise, velocity and rangeability checks; line size alone does not determine valve size.
