A globe valve and a ball valve can both be used in industrial piping systems, but they are not selected for the same duty. The main difference is how each valve controls the flow path. A globe valve uses linear stem movement to move a disc or plug toward or away from the seat, while a ball valve uses quarter-turn rotary motion to align or block a bore through the ball.<\/p>\n

For most industrial applications, a globe valve is selected when the process needs flow regulation, throttling or gradual control. A ball valve is selected when the process needs quick shutoff, simple on-off operation, low pressure drop and high flow capacity.<\/p>\n

This globe valve vs ball valve comparison focuses on ordinary industrial globe valves and ordinary industrial ball valves. V-port, segmented or characterized ball valves are special control-oriented designs and should not be treated as the same as a standard on-off ball valve.<\/p>\n
