Cage-guided globe control valves are designed for superior performance and flexibility in a range of applications. Available with both balanced and unbalanced plugs, these valves feature ports drilled through the plug to equalize fluid pressure, enhancing their control capabilities. Though typically more costly, cage-guided valves offer broader application versatility and can include features to mitigate noise and cavitation. The solid cage structure protects the valve body from steam and cavitation damage, while the streamlined channel design minimizes pressure drop and supports high flow rates, ensuring effective control over a wide range of conditions.
