It is the same as a Z-type valve with some modifications. The fluid flow path contains a 90^O angle. It is capable to eliminate the fluctuations of the fluid flow so it is used in pulsating applications where fluid flow varies frequently.

5. Y-type Globe valve

The problem of high pressure-drop in the Z-type valve is resolved in this valve. Here, instead of perpendicular angles in the flow path, we have 45O angles which reduce the pressure-drop drastically.

Advantages of Globe Valves

• Have throttling feature

• Opening and closing is fast compare to the gate valve

• It is fast-acting

Disadvantages of Globe Valves

• Not good for clean or sterile applications

• Very high pressure drop

• Noisy in high-pressure applications
