Difference between Gate valve and Globe Valve

Difference between Gate valve and Globe Valve

SL No.
Globe Valve
Gate Valve
1.        
Divert the flow at right angles through a circular opening and flow is controlled by a circular disc which moves towards and ultimately seats on the beveled edges of the circular opening.
Gate valve has a wedge of material which cuts across the flow area and seats around the circumference of the pipe.
2.        
It can be used for wide open, fully closed, or with the disc in an intermediate position for regulating the flow.
It is used for wide open or fully closed, and not for intermediate flow regulation.
3.        
Used for flow controlling
For using dividing or for long time closed position it is used.

  2. Globe valves are primarily used to regulate fluid flow, offering precise control through a linear motion disc that moves perpendicular to the flow. They provide good throttling capability but have higher pressure drop compared to gate valves. Gate valves, on the other hand, are designed for on/off applications, allowing or blocking fluid flow through a sliding gate. They have lower pressure drop but offer limited control. Globe valves are suitable for controlling flow rates, while gate valves excel at isolating fluid flow.
