Advantages
1.The structure of the globe valve is simpler than that of the gate valve, and the manufacturing and maintenance are more convenient.
2.The sealing surface is not easy to wear and scratch, the sealing is good, there is no relative sliding between the valve disc and the sealing surface of the valve body when opening and closing, so the wear and abrasion are not serious, the sealing performance is good, and the service life is long.
3.When opening and closing, the disc stroke is small, so the height of the globe valve is smaller than that of the gate valve, but the structural length is longer than that of the gate valve.
4.The opening and closing torque is large, the opening and closing time is more laborious, and the opening and closing time is longer.
5.The fluid resistance is large, because the medium channel in the valve body is tortuous, the fluid resistance is large, and the power consumption is large.
6.When the nominal pressure PN≤16MPa in the direction of medium flow, the downstream flow is generally used, and the medium flows upward from under the valve disc; When the nominal pressure PN≥20MPa, the reverse flow is generally used, and the medium flows down from above the valve disc. to increase seal energy. When in use, the shut-off valve medium can only flow in one direction, and cannot change the flow direction.
7.When fully open, the valve disc is often eroded.
The stem axis of the globe valve is perpendicular to the seat sealing surface. The relatively short opening or closing stroke of the stem and the very reliable shut-off action make this valve suitable for use as a medium for shut-off or regulation and throttling.
