A globe valve refers to shut-off valves in which the shut-off element moves parallel to the axis of the flow of the working medium. Like other types of shut-off valves, shut-off valves are used to completely shut off their flow area, and, consequently, the flow of the working medium; that is, the locking element, which is most often a spool in the shut-off valve, is in the extreme positions "open" or "closed" during operation.
