How to Select the Right Globe Valve for Your Specific Application
2025-09-17
Choosing the correct Globe Valve is critical for system efficiency, safety, and longevity. With decades of expertise in flow control solutions, we at LYV®️ understand that the right selection depends on a careful analysis of your application’s requirements. Here’s a professional guide to help you make an informed decision.
Key Factors to Consider
Start by evaluating these essential parameters:
-
Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Ensure the valve meets or exceeds your system’s maximum pressure and temperature.
-
Material Compatibility: The valve material must resist corrosion, erosion, and chemical reactions with the fluid.
-
Flow Characteristics: Consider the required flow capacity (Cv) and whether precise throttling is needed.
-
End Connections: Match the valve ends (flanged, threaded, welded) to your piping system.
-
Actuation Type: Decide between manual, electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic operation based on automation needs.
