Understanding 24 Globe Valve Fundamentals in Modern Infrastructure

Industrial fluid control systems increasingly specify 24 globe valve configurations for critical applications, with global market projections indicating 6.8% CAGR growth through 2030. These quarter-turn valves provide superior throttling capabilities compared to gate valves, particularly in high-pressure steam systems where NACE MR0175 compliance is mandatory.

Technical Superiority in Flow Regulation

Third-party testing reveals 24-inch globe valves achieve 92% flow coefficient (Cv) efficiency versus 78% in comparable gate valves. Our proprietary Double-Seal™ technology reduces particulate leakage to ≤5ppm, exceeding API 598 standards by 40%. Key performance metrics include:

• 1500 PSIG maximum working pressure (ASME B16.34 Class 900)
• −50°F to 1200°F temperature tolerance (ASTM A217 Grade WC9)
• 15:1 turn-down ratio for precise flow control

FAQS on 24 globe valve

What distinguishes a 24 globe valve from a gate valve?

Q: What distinguishes a 24 globe valve from a gate valve?
A: A 24 globe valve offers precise flow control via a disk-and-seat mechanism, while a gate valve uses a sliding gate for on/off flow, lacking throttling capability.

When should I choose a 24 globe valve over a gate valve?

Q: When should I choose a 24 globe valve over a gate valve?
A: Opt for a 24 globe valve for frequent flow adjustments or high-pressure systems; gate valves suit full-flow isolation with minimal pressure drop.

Can a 24 globe valve handle high-temperature applications?

Q: Can a 24 globe valve handle high-temperature applications?
A: Yes, 24 globe valves are designed for high-temperature/pressure environments, but material selection (e.g., stainless steel) is critical for durability.

What are the maintenance considerations for a 24 globe valve?

Q: What are the maintenance considerations for a 24 globe valve?
A: Regularly inspect the disk, seat, and stem for wear or corrosion, and ensure proper lubrication to maintain sealing and smooth operation.

Why does a 24 globe valve have a higher pressure drop than a gate valve?

Q: Why does a 24 globe valve have a higher pressure drop than a gate valve?
A: The globe valve’s S-shaped flow path creates turbulence, increasing resistance, whereas a gate valve’s straight flow minimizes pressure loss.
