When should I use a globe valve instead of a gate valve for flow control in my process line?
Use a globe valve when you need throttling or flow regulation — the design allows for precise control of flow rate. Gate valves are strictly for full open/full close isolation and will wear rapidly if used for throttling. Bonney Forge globe valves are available in both forged and cast steel, in Y-pattern configurations for lower pressure drop applications, and in a wide range of body materials (A105, F22, F316, etc.) to match your process conditions.
