Gate and Globe Valves

Descriprtion

Gate valves are bi-directional valves ideally suited for on-off duties. OMB produces various types both with parallel face gates or with wedge gates. These valves have a very low resistance to flow, which in the case of parallel gate valves approaches that of a straight pipe. They are used for duties with high pressure fluids due to the fact that upstream pressure helps the sealing between gate and seat.

Globe valve are closing-down valves in which the closure member is moved squarely on and off the seat. In this way the opening of the port is directly proportional to the travel of the disc. This proportional relationship is ideally suited for duties requiring regulation of flow rate. To have a further precision in regulation the disc element can be available in the parabolic, needle, veeport types.
