What is the primary use of a Globe Valve?

A Globe Valve is primarily designed for throttling flow, which means it can regulate or control the flow rate of a fluid passing through it. The valve's internal design, with a movable disk and a stationary ring seat, enables it to adjust the size of the flow passage. This allows for finer control over flow rates compared to other valve types. When precision is necessary, such as in processes where achieving certain flow conditions is critical, a Globe Valve is particularly effective.

While other valves may excel at shutting off flow entirely, preventing backflow, or enabling automated control, those functions are not the primary focus of the Globe Valve's design. Its main feature is to provide an adjustable flow rate, making it a vital tool in various applications involving fuel and fluid control.
