Globe Valve – Phuc Minh Engineering

Globe valve is one of the most common types of industrial valves, widely used to stop, regulate, and control the flow of liquids and gases in piping systems. In particular, globe valves are extensively applied in steam, hot oil, high-pressure compressed air, chemicals, and heavy industrial systems.

Currently, Phuc Minh Engineering proudly stands as a trusted distributor of high-quality industrial valves in Vietnam, including globe valves with competitive pricing, a wide variety of models, and guaranteed genuine products. With a team of experienced engineers, Phuc Minh always accompanies customers in consulting, selecting, and implementing the most optimal piping solutions.

What is a Globe Valve?

A globe valve (also known as a stop valve or hot steam valve) is an industrial valve designed to open/close or regulate the flow of liquids and gases within a pipeline.

The name "globe valve" originates from the disc’s shape, which resembles a globe. Its design enables precise flow regulation while ensuring excellent leak-tightness, even under high pressure and temperature applications.

Globe valves are commonly found in steam systems, hot oil systems, compressed air, chemical pipelines, hot–cold water, and industries that demand accurate flow control.

Key Advantages of Globe Valves

• Efficient flow regulation: Precise control of flow rate with a rising–lowering disc mechanism.

• Tight shut-off: Better sealing against fluid or gas leakage compared to many other valve types.

• Variety of materials: Stainless steel, cast iron, brass, carbon steel, plastic… suitable for different working environments.

• Wide applications: Steam, oil, chemical, clean water, high-pressure compressed air.

• Easy maintenance: Simple disassembly and replacement of internal components.

Basic Components of a Globe Valve

A standard globe valve consists of:

• Body: Withstands pressure and contains internal parts. Common materials: cast iron, steel, stainless steel.

• Bonnet: Provides a tight seal and rigidity, while allowing easy removal for maintenance.

• Disc: The element that directly opens/closes flow; available in cone, cylindrical, or flat shapes.

• Stem: Transmits motion from the handwheel or actuator to the disc.

• Actuator: Can be manual handwheel, electric actuator, or pneumatic actuator.

• Packing/Gasket: Prevents fluid leakage outside.

  

Working Principle

When the handwheel is turned, the force is transferred to the stem, which lifts or lowers the disc.

• Open state: Fluid passes through the space inside the body.

• Closed state: The disc presses tightly against the seat, completely blocking flow.

This precise regulation makes globe valves particularly suitable for systems that require stable and accurate flow control.
