Globe valves operate by moving a disk perpendicular to the flow stream. When the valve is fully open, the disk is lifted entirely off the seat, allowing for unobstructed flow. When the valve is closed, the disk is lowered onto the seat, effectively stopping the flow. The flow can be regulated by adjusting the position of the disk between the fully open and fully closed positions. This design provides a high degree of control over the flow rate, making globe valves particularly useful for applications requiring precise flow regulation.
