Globe Valve Types based on the bore pattern

Straight Through/TEE Pattern/Z-Body Globe Valve
The T Pattern Globe valve features a medium inlet and outlet flow path oriented 180° in the same direction. This design results in a low flow coefficient and minimal pressure drop. The valve operates by using the valve stem to guide the valve disc to the sealing surface of the valve seat, effectively shutting off the flow.
 
During the opening and closing processes, the friction between the sealing surfaces is minimal, which reduces wear and tear. The throttling height is kept to a minimum, which optimizes process performance.
 
Compared to gate valves, the globe valve has a simpler structure, making it easier to maintain. Its straightforward design contributes to its widespread use in the industry.
Globe Valve 30
Globe Valve 31
Y Type Globe Valve
The Y-type globe valve features valve stems and flow paths set at an angle relative to the sealing surface of the valve seat and the inlet and outlet flow paths. The valve body can be either an integral or split design. The split body type uses two valve bodies that enclose the valve seat, making maintenance easier.
 
This type of globe valve does not alter the direction of the flow and offers the smallest flow resistance among globe valves. The sealing surface of both the valve seat and disc can be welded with hard alloy to resist erosion and corrosion. This design is particularly suited for alumina production pipelines and pipelines carrying slurry medium.
Angle Globe Valve
The main advantage of the angle globe valve is its ability to be installed at a right angle within the pipeline system. This design eliminates the need for 90° elbows, simplifying installation and operation.
 
As a result, the angle globe valve is particularly well-suited for synthetic ammonia production systems and refrigeration systems in chemical fertilizer plants.
Globe Valve 32

Other Globe Valve Types

Bellow Globe Valve
The bellow globe valve, also known as the bellow seal globe valve, is designed with automatic roll welding to create a metal barrier between the fluid medium and the atmosphere. This design prevents leakage from the valve stem.
 
The valve features a bellows structure, with the lower end of the stainless-steel bellows welded to the valve stem to protect it from corrosion. The other end of the bellows is installed between the valve body and bonnet to form a static seal.
 
A double seal design is used, where stem packing serves as a secondary seal if the bellows fail. The welded bellows maintain stable operation and prevent stem vibration caused by valve plug movement. This valve is suitable for media requiring vacuum conditions, such as steam, flammable substances, explosive materials, thermal oil, high-purity fluids, and toxic substances.
Globe Valve 33
Globe Valve 34
Plunger Globe Valve
The Plunger Globe Valve uses a radial seal achieved with two spring-loaded sealing rings on a polished plunger. These rings are separated by a collar, and load is applied via connecting bolts between the valve body and bonnet. This setup presses the sealing rings firmly around the plunger to create a tight seal.
The valve features a body made of carbon steel, a plunger of Cr13 stainless steel, and flexible graphite sealing rings, suitable for water, steam, and oil pipelines. For applications involving acid and alkali corrosive media, the body and plunger can be made of stainless acid-resistant steel with a PTFE seal ring.
The Plunger Globe Valve offers reliable sealing, a long lifespan, and easy maintenance. However, it has a slower open/close speed. It is commonly used in urban construction systems and water and steam pipelines in urban heating systems.
Needle Globe Valve
The needle-type globe valve is designed for precise flow control. It features an integrated valve disc and stem, along with a high-precision needle-shaped probe that matches with the valve seat. The stem thread pitch of this valve is smaller compared to standard globe valves.
Typically, the seat hole size of the needle globe valve is smaller than the pipe size, making it suitable for pipelines with a small nominal diameter. It is mainly used as a sampling valve.
Globe Valve 35
Globe Valve 36
Three-Way Globe Valve
The three-way globe valve body features three flow paths and can also be designed with four paths. It can replace three-way joints and three ordinary globe valves in pipelines to divert, bypass, or combine flow.
This valve offers high-performance sealing, which extends its lifespan and prevents leakage. As a result, it helps reduce maintenance costs.

Construction of a Globe Valve and Working Principles

Components of the Globe Valve
The globe valve is comprised of several key components: the valve body, valve disc or plug, bonnet, and stem. The opening and closing mechanism features a plug-shaped disc, with a sealing surface that may be either flat or tapered. The disc moves linearly along the fluid’s center line during operation.
Types of Stem Operations
There are two types of stem operations for the globe valve. The first is the lift type, where the stem moves up and down with a handwheel that remains in place. The second type combines rotation and lifting, where both the handwheel and the valve rod rotate and move up and down together, with a lock nut positioned on the valve body.
Operational Limitations and Sealing
The globe valve is made for fully open or fully closed use and is not good for controlling flow. It needs pressure on the disc to create a tight seal. If closing takes more force than opening, the stem may need to be thicker to avoid bending or damage.
Pressure Seal Globe Valve
The pressure seal globe valve allows the medium to flow from above the valve disc, reducing the force needed to close it but increasing the force to open it. This design allows a smaller stem and helps create a tighter seal, improving performance compared to regular globe valves.

Performance and Application of Globe Valve

A. Advantages of Globe Valve

  • Globe valves have a shorter stroke compared to gate valves.
  • Good shutoff capability is provided, with less friction between sealing surfaces, leading to a longer lifespan.
  • Moderate to good throttling capability is available.
  • Options include T type, Y type, and angle patterns, each with distinct advantages.
  • As a stop-check valve, the globe valve can operate when the disc is not attached to the stem.

B. Disadvantages of Globe Valve

  • Globe valves are longer in size and experience a higher pressure drop compared to gate valves.
  • Their structure is complex, making them challenging to manufacture and maintain.
  • Greater force or a larger actuator is required to open or close the valve due to the pressure under the seat.
  • Globe valves are generally unsuitable for media with particles, high viscosity, or tendencies to coke.

Selection Guide of Globe Valve

  • Globe valves are suitable for pipelines or devices handling high-temperature and high-pressure media, such as in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, and high-temperature, high-pressure pipelines in petrochemical systems.
  • They are appropriate for pipelines where flow resistance and pressure loss are not concerns.
  • Small-size globe valves can replace needle valves, instrument valves, sampling valves, and pressure gauge valves.
  • They are suitable when regulating precision is not a critical requirement and the nominal diameter is less than 50mm.
  • For small and large chemical fertilizers in the synthetic industry, high-pressure angle globe valves or high-pressure angle throttle valves with a nominal pressure of 1500 LB or 2500 LB should be used.
  • In desiliconization workshops using the alumina Bayer method and pipelines prone to coking, T-type globe valves or T-type throttle valves with a split body and welded hard alloy seat are recommended.
  • For water supply and heating systems in urban construction, globe valves, balance valves, or plunger globe valves can be selected for pipelines with a nominal passage less than 150mm.
Globe Valve Application
  • Globe valves are commonly used in pipelines requiring full opening and closing, especially steam pipelines.
  • Connection options for globe valves include weld-type or flange-type.
Installation and Use of Globe Valve
  • Globe valves operated by handwheels can be installed in any position within the pipeline.
  • Lifting mechanisms are not permitted for handwheel and actuated valves.
  • The flow direction of the medium must align with the direction of the arrow on the valve body.

Common Problems and Maintenance of Globe Valve

A. The valve is passing
  • Inspect for solid particles such as debris or steam scale in the medium that may have worn the valve disc or valve seat.
  • Solid particles could be trapped between the valve disc and the valve seat.
  • Check if the valve stem and the valve disc are not properly connected, which may prevent the valve disc from making tight contact with the valve seat.
  • Look for corrosion on the stem or stem nut, among other parts.
B. The valve is not functioning/can not be opened or closed
  • Check for debris between the valve stem and the valve stem nut or verify if the contact is poor.
  • Confirm if the valve stem and the valve disc are detached.
  • Inspect for corrosion on the valve stem and the valve stem nut.
  • Assess if the valve disc is exposed to excessive reverse pressure or if the packing is too tight.
C. Partial leakage of packing
The primary issue with globe valves is often the loss of packing filler or damage to the filler foil structure. During operation, consider the following points:
  • Use in Appropriate Pipelines:
    • Globe valves should not be used in liquid pipelines prone to deposits or crystals.
    • For steam, compressed air, vacuum pipelines, or liquid pipelines requiring flow regulation, install a filter before the valve to keep the medium clean.
  • Handling Valve Closure:
    • If the valve disc is blocked during closing, do not force it shut. Instead, attempt to flush out debris by opening and closing the valve rapidly several times.
    • If this fails, dismantle and overhaul the valve.
  • Lubrication and Cleaning: Regularly lubricate the stem and stem nut, and clean away debris, especially in water and steam valves, to prevent rust and valve failure.
  • Maintenance of Seals and Packing: Replace any loose gaskets or packing promptly to avoid damage to the valve disc, valve seat, or joints, particularly under high-speed media like steam or compressed air.
  • Dehydration Valve Care: Close the steam pipeline’s dehydration valve to prevent freezing and cracking. Keep the valve’s connection to the pipeline as short as possible.
  • Flow Path and Installation:
    • The globe valve adjusts the flow path clearance by lifting and lowering the disc. The flow paths within the valve are not aligned along the same horizontal center.
    • During installation, pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the valve body, indicating that the flow direction should be low in and high out.
    • If the flow comes from above the valve disc, it will subject the disc to reverse pressure, making the valve difficult to open.
  • Valve Configuration for Specific Applications:
    • For low-pressure, small-diameter, and short-distance pipelines, it may be necessary to use two consecutive globe valves.
    • One valve should be installed in the correct orientation, while the other is installed in reverse. This configuration facilitates easier replacement of the valve packing.
  • Replacing Valve Packing: Release pressure via the outlet before replacing valve packing. Loosening the gland flange under pressure can cause severe injury.
  • Operation of Non-Rising Valves: For non-rising globe valves, leave the handwheel half a turn open when fully open to prevent accidental operation and damage from excessive force.
  • Avoiding Water Hammer: Operate the valve similarly to other valves, avoiding rapid opening and closing to prevent water hammer in the pipeline.
