RAKtherm Globe valve
A globe valve is a type of valve used for regulating flow in a pipeline , consisting of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. [1] Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle . This has an opening that forms a seat onto which a movable plug [2] can be screwed in to close (or shut) the valve. The plug is also called a disc or disk . [3] [4] In globe valves, the plug is connected to a stem which is operated by screw action using a handwheel in manual valves. Typically, automated globe valves use smooth stems rather than threaded and are opened and closed by an actuator assembly.
