Globe Valve vs Gate Valve: Functional Comparison
| Feature | Globe Valve | Gate Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Throttling and flow regulation | On-off isolation only |
| Flow Path | S-shaped, higher pressure drop | Straight-through, minimal pressure drop |
| Disc Movement | Plug moves vertically along flow axis | Wedge moves perpendicular to flow |
| Sealing | Better throttling, tighter shut-off | Not suitable for throttling |
| Typical Application | Flow control, bypass, vent, drain | Main line isolation, on-off service |
Reference: BS 1873. Globe valves are designed for throttling and frequent operation; gate valves should only be used fully open or fully closed.
Typical Applications of Industrial Globe Valve
• Oil & gas transmission: crude oil, natural gas, and refined product pipelines requiring flow regulation and reliable shut-off.
• Refinery and petrochemical: process lines where precise throttling and frequent operation are required.
• Power generation: main steam, feedwater, and auxiliary systems at all pressure classes from 150LBS to 2500LBS.
• Chemical processing: corrosive media handling with CF8 / CF8M / alloy steel options.
• Water treatment: pump discharge, bypass, and flow control in water and wastewater systems.
• General industrial pipelines: non-corrosive and mildly corrosive media where flow regulation is needed.
FAQ - Industrial Globe Valve
Q1: What is an industrial globe valve?
A: An industrial globe valve is a linear motion valve designed for throttling and flow regulation in pipelines. It uses a movable plug or disc that moves along the flow axis to control flow rate. The name "globe" comes from the spherical body shape. It is manufactured to BS 1873 / ASME B16.34 and is available in pressure classes from 150LBS to 2500LBS and PN10 to PN100.
Q2: What is the difference between a globe valve and a gate valve?
A: A globe valve uses a plug that moves along the flow axis, providing better throttling and flow regulation — ideal for modulating service. A gate valve uses a wedge that moves perpendicular to the flow, providing full bore flow with minimal pressure drop — ideal for on-off isolation only. Globe valves should be used for throttling, while gate valves should only be used fully open or fully closed.
Q3: What is BS 1873 standard?
A: BS 1873 is a British Standard for "Specification for steel globe and globe stop and check valves (flanged and butt-welding ends) for the petroleum, petrochemical, and allied industries." It specifies requirements for cast or forged carbon and alloy steel outside screw and yoke globe valves, straight pattern, angle pattern, and Y pattern, in sizes DN15 to DN400 (½″ to 16″) and Classes 150 to 2500.
Q4: What materials are available for globe valves?
A: Common body materials include WCB, LCB, WC6, WC9, C5, C12, CF8, CF8M, CF3, CF3M, 4A, and 5A. Various trim materials such as 13Cr, STL, SS304, SS316, and F6a are available to suit different service conditions.
Q5: What end connections and actuation options are available?
A: End connections include flanged (RF, RTJ) and butt weld (BW). Actuation options include manual handwheel, bevel gear, and bare stem for electric actuator. Other options are available on request.
Q6: Is NACE MR 0175 available for globe valves?
A: Yes. NACE MR 0175 compliance is available on request for sour service applications. Please specify this requirement when requesting a quotation.
