Globe Valves
We at SIO both manufacture and customize top-quality globe valves. These valves are a linear mechanism that is mainly used to start, regulate, and stop fluid flow. The globe disk can close the entire flow or can be completely removed. It will move in a perpendicular manner to the seat during the opening and shutting of globe valves.
This motion will create the annular gap between the seat ring and the disk that will slowly shut as the valve closes. This feature allows globe valves to have excellent throttling capacity that is needed to regulate the flow. There is a lesser chance of leakage because of the right contact between the seat ring and the disk. The angle they are positioned enables a tighter seal between them.
At SIO, you can rely that we will make the best globe valves for your fluid flow needs.
Globe Valve Manufacturer
A globe valve is a type of linear motion valve used to start, stop, and control media flow. While most valves are named after the shape of their discs, a globe valve earned its name for its spherical body.
A typical globe valve may be used for isolation and throttling. This type of valve creates a slightly higher pressure drop than straight-through valves, such as gate valves, ball valves, and plug valves. This means that a globe valve is recommended in applications wherein the pressure drop is not an important factor.
As an experienced globe valve manufacturer, globe valve supplied by SIO is well-suited for applications that include high-pressure steam. It can also be used in cooling water systems, feed water, fuel oil systems, chemical feed, boiler drains and vents, turbine drains and seals, and more.

Cast Iron Globe Valve
Cast iron valves have excellent temperature tolerance, with some regulating media flow with temperatures exceeding 1150°C (2100°F). Cast-iron globe valves are so strong that even after repeated vibrations, they typically remain untouched.
Ductile Iron Globe Valve
The corrosion resistance, yield strength, and tensile strength of ductile iron globe valves are excellent. There are many demanding industrial applications for ductile iron globe valves, steam power plants, including oil refineries, and wastewater treatment plants.
Forged Steel Globe Valve
In addition to their durability, forged steel globe valves can operate at temperatures ranging from -196C to 700C, making them suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Cast Steel Globe Valve
A cast steel globe valve is more durable, stronger, wear-resistant, and has a longer lifespan. These features make cast steel globe valves ideal for use in water and wastewater treatment facilities, power generation plants, and other industries.
Globe Valves by Design
Angle Globe Valve
Angle globe valves direct the flow of the process by 90 degrees without relying on an elbow or extra weld. Discs can therefore be opened adjacent to the flow of the process. Moreover, this design can handle slugging effects under fluctuating flow conditions.
Y-pattern / Wye Globe Valve
Y-pattern or wye globe valves have angled stems and seats inclined at 45 degrees to the pipeline axis. These provide the minimum flow resistance possible. Often, this design is employed in severe applications and high-pressure where pressure drop is a key concern.
Tee Pattern / Z-type Globe Valve
The most commonly used globe valve is the tee pattern or z-type. A simple design consists of a z barrier inside the body that houses the valve seat. These valves are commonly used in applications requiring throttling.
Globe Valves by Application
Steam Globe Valve
Steam globe valves are often used in industries because they provide precise control and throttling. They control the vapor pressure and level of steam. A common steam steel globe valve application can be found in a chemical plant, refinery, or food processing plant.
