Globe valves are primarily used as control valves where throttling or both throttling and shut-off are required. Globe valves can also be used for on-off service; however, because of the design, a pressure drop becomes inherent. This is generally confined to on-off applications where the valve is normally closed and pressure drop is not important when the valve is open. Normal applications will find the globe valve with the flow and pressure under the disc. EMFLO cast steel globe valves are commonly made in outside screw and yoke designs with full ports (including seat ring) and heavy-duty, conical plug type discs.
