Does a Globe Valve Always Require “Flow from Bottom to Top”?

Globe valves are commonly used in industrial pipelines for fluid control, especially where precise throttling or frequent operation is needed. One frequently asked question is whether the flow direction of a globe valve must always follow the “low in, high out” principle. While “low in, high out” is the standard design in most installations, it
