A flange globe valve, also known as a stop valve, is a popular type of valve used in various applications to regulate the flow of fluids through a pipeline. It is designed with a movable disc element, known as a disc or plug, which can be raised or lowered within the valve body to control the flow of media. The valve gets its name from its disk, which is globular or spherical in shape. It is so designed to fit snugly into a correspondingly shaped seat within the valve body, which provides tight sealing against fluid loss. This makes the flange globe valve ideal for applications where precise control of the flow is required. The valve is manufactured in various materials such as cast iron, cast steel, ductile iron, stainless steel, and bronze, among others. Each material has specific advantages and limitations, and the choice of material depends on the application, the media being handled, and the operating conditions such as temperature and pressure. Flange globe valves are available in several configurations, including angle type, Y type, and T pattern. The angle type is commonly used in areas where space is limited, while the Y type is suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where there is a need for high flow capacities. The T pattern is ideal in applications that require straight flow through the valve. The flange globe valve is widely used in various industries, including chemical processing, petroleum, power generation, and water treatment, among others. Its versatility stems from its ability to handle a wide range of media, such as gases, liquids, and steam, among others, and to operate under a range of pressures and temperatures. The valve's functionality depends on the actuator used to control it. There are various actuation methods, including the handwheel, motorized, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuation. The choice of actuator depends on factors such as the size of the valve, the application, and the desired level of automation. Overall, the flange globe valve is an important component in fluid control systems, providing precise control of fluids and enabling the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of industrial processes.
