Abstract
Globe valves are used in the oil and gas industry for fluid regulation or throttling. Cavitation as the main operation problem associated with globe valves as well as some of the mitigation approaches have been discussed in this chapter. Different types of globe valves such as needle, straight pattern, and Y-pattern have been explained briefly. Some aspects of the valve design such as wall thickness, bore, face-to-face dimensions based on international standards such as API and ASME have been included in this chapter. Readers can get practical information about the design of different components of this type of valve such as body, bonnet, yoke, steam, seat, backseat, etc., that has been explained in this chapter. This chapter contains many pictures of globe valves during manufacturing, assembly, and testing such as pressure, fugitive emission, or flow capacity measurement testing.
