Globe valves are commonly used as an on/off valve, but they may be used for throttling systems. The gradual change in spacing between the disk and seat ring gives the globe valve good throttling ability. These linear motion valves can be used in a variety of applications as long as the pressure and temperature limits are not exceeded, and the process does not require special materials to combat corrosion. Globe valve also have a smaller chance of damage to the seat or valve plug by the fluid, even if the seat is in the partially open position. Globe valves can be used for both gas and liquid systems. Globe valves are not specified for high purity or slurry systems. The valve has inherent cavities that easily promote contamination and allow slurry material to become entrapped, disabling the valve operation.
