Globe valves are unidirectional and closing-down valves in which the closure member is moved squarely on and off the seat and are designed to maintain the pressure flowing under the disc. In this way, the opening of the port is directly proportional to the travel of the disc. This proportional relationship is ideally suited for applications that require flowrate regulation. In order to increase precision in the regulation, the disc element is available in three different configurations: parabolic, needle and v-port. Furthermore the short-travel of the disc between the open and closed positions makes these valves ideally suited for on-off duties when they must be opened and closed frequently.
