Globe Valve Pros and Cons

Aug. 18, 2020

The most evident advantages of globe valves, including DIN angle type Globe Valves, are:

  1. Wear-Resistant Disc: The disc in a globe valve, during opening and closing, is wear-resistant because the friction between the disc and the sealing surface of the body is less compared to that of a gate valve.

  2. Compact Design: The open height of a globe valve is generally only 1/4 of the seat channel diameter, making it significantly smaller than a gate valve. This compact design is advantageous in space-constrained environments.

  3. Single Sealing Cover: Typically, there is only one sealing cover on the valve body and disc, simplifying the manufacturing process and making maintenance more convenient.

However, it's important to consider the drawbacks of globe valves:

Main Disadvantage:

  1. Flow Resistance: The flow resistance coefficient of a globe valve is relatively large, leading to pressure loss. This is especially noticeable in hydraulic systems where pressure loss can have a significant impact on performance.

Despite the disadvantages, globe valves are widely used in various applications due to their reliable performance and suitability for certain conditions.
