What is straight pattern globe valve?

A straight pattern globe valve, also known as a straight-through globe valve or a straight-flow globe valve, is a specific configuration of a globe valve. It is designed to provide a straight, unobstructed flow path when the valve is fully open.

In a traditional globe valve, the flow path takes a right-angle turn as the fluid passes through the valve body, resulting in some flow resistance and pressure drop. However, in a straight pattern globe valve, the valve body is designed in a way that reduces the flow resistance by aligning the flow path in a straight line. This configuration allows for a more efficient flow with minimal pressure drop when the valve is fully open.
