What is the advantage of gate valve over globe valve?

What is the advantage of gate valve over globe valve? Correct Answer It offers less resistance to flow

Concepts:

The basic difference between gate and globe valve is:

Gate Valve

Globe Valve

It is used for controlling the water flow by raising or lowering levels

It is used to regulate or throttle the flow of water in plumbing applications such as outdoor faucets.

They are used for starting and stopping flow but they cannot regulate the level of flow.

Globe valves can be used to start, stop, and regulate flow.

Gate valves are energy-efficient valves and less power is consumed when opening or closing the gate valves and also have pressure drops fairly low.

They offer more resistance to fluid flow and have a high-pressure drop even when the valve is fully open.

They have less durability.

Globe valves generally seal better and last longer

Cheaper

Expensive
