What is a steam globe valve?
A steam globe valve is a type of globe valve which is meant for use in controlling the flow of steam. Steam globe valves are used for throttling, opening, and closing fluid flow. These valves are also used to control flow of steam pressure. Steam globe valves are used in different applications such as foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and steam power plants among others. When used in applications such as sanitary (for example in foods and pharmaceuticals), these valves are used to release the steam so that it comes into contact with the end product and it has to be very clean. Steam globe valve manufacturers design the body of these valves with a strong metallic material. These helps to give the body high strength to withstand high pressure and high temperatures.
Advantages of steam globe valves
- Steam globe valves have good throttling capabilities.
- They are good in on and off fluid flow.
- They are versatile as they can be used in different fluid flow applications.
- They are strong enough for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
- They have zero fluid leakage.
- They are durable as they can be repaired when they break down.
- Steam globe valves operate faster unlike other valves like gate valve.
