I. Хавхлагын үндсийг ойлгох: Definitions and Functions
Globe Valves: The Precision Flow Controllers
Globe valves (also known as stop valves) are linear motion valves designed for precise flow control and regulation. Their distinctive feature is a movable disc-type element that moves perpendicular to the fluid flow, enabling accurate flow adjustment. The name “globe” comes from their spherical body shape, though modern designs may vary.

- Excellent throttling capability
- Precise flow control
- Multiple flow path options
- Superior shut-off performance
