As a Gate Valve and Globe Valve Suppliers, we want to ask what’s the difference between a globe valve and a gate valve, you know?

1. The Difference in Structure Gate Valve vs Globe Valve

One of the main differences between the gate valve and the globe valve is how these look. The gate valve construction is much simpler. Much of its internal components are located on the top part of the valve body. When it is turned on, its body becomes hollow. That’s why there is a little pressure drop. The gate valve may have a rising or a non-rising stem.

On the contrary, many globe valve parts are inside the cavity itself. Since its primary purpose is to throttle and provide positive shut-off, the design allows obstructions that aid the globe valve in this purpose. The design also permits changes in flow direction and rate that contributes to a high-pressure drop. The globe has a rising stem.

2. The Difference in Working Principle Globe Valve vs Gate Valve

Whenever the globe valve opens and closed, the valve stem is lifted, i.e., as the handwheel is rotated, the handwheel rotates and lifts along with the valve stem. The gate valve rotates the handwheel to allow the valve stem to go up and down, and the position of the handwheel does not alter.

The gate valve only has two states that are completely open or completely shut. The opening and closing strokes of the gate is quite wide and the opening and closing time is very long; the movement of the valve plate of the globe valve is much shorter and the valve plate of the globe valve will stop at a certain position during movement. For one, it is used for flow adjustment, while the gate valve can only be used for shut-off and has no other function.

3. The Difference in Performance Gate Valve vs Globe Valve

The shut-off valve could be used for cutting and adjusting the flow. The fluid resistance of the globe valve is relatively high, and it is more difficult to open and shut, however since the gap between the valve plate and the sealing surface is small, the opening and closing stroke are small.

The gate valve could only be completely opened and closed. Once completely opened, the flow resistance of the fluid in the valve body path is almost zero, so the opening and closure of the gate valve would be very labour-saving, but the gate is far distant from the sealing surface so, the opening and closing time are large.
