Globe valves have sphere-shaped bodies, that is why they are called globe. Inside the globe valve, there is a baffle separates two halves. This internal structure creates a different flow path than ball valves and other rotary-type valves.

The globe valve has considerably higher pressure loss in the fully open position. This is because the flow of fluid changes direction as it goes through the valve. Hence comparing to gate valve and ball valve, globe valve can be used for throttling and regulating flow or pressures as well as complete shutoff of flow.Globe valves are closure element linear motion valves, for example a plug or disc, the globe valve disc can completely close the flow path or can be removed entirely.

Globe valves are most suitable and widely used for throttling and controlling fluid flow and are generally employed in small size piping in various industry fields.

The gate valve could be classified as many types based on various parameters, there are several particular types based on the charactersof globe valve:

By the globe valve body design and operation:Z type globe valve, Y type globe valve, Angle Type globe valve.

By the globe Valve body bonnet connection: Screwed bonnet, Bolted-bonnet, Welded-Bonnet, Pressure-Seal Bonnet
