Globe Va e Series
 A globe va e is a type of va e used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body.
Globe Va es are named for their spherical body shape with the two ha es of the body being separated by an internal baffle. This has an opening that forms a seat onto which a movable plug can be screwed in to close (or shut) the va e. The plug is also called a disc. In globe va es, the plug is connected to a stem which is operated by screw action in manual va es. Typically, automated va es use sliding stems. Automated globe va es have a smooth stem rather than threaded and are opened and closed by an actuator assembly. When a globe va e is manually operated, the stem is turned by a hand wheel.
 Globe va es are used for applications requiring throttling and frequent operation. For example, globe va es or va es with a similar mechanism may be used as sampling va es, which are normally shut except when liquid samples are being taken. Since the baffle restricts flow, they're not recommended where full, unobstructed flow is required.
