Abstract

An aspect includes a globe butterfly valve that includes a valve inlet, a valve outlet, a globe housing with a spherical body between the valve inlet and the valve outlet, and a globe butterfly valve disc operably disposed within the globe housing. The globe housing has a larger interior diameter than an inlet diameter of the valve inlet and an outlet diameter of the valve outlet. The globe butterfly valve disc is configured to block a flow path between the valve inlet and the valve outlet responsive to an outer edge of the globe butterfly valve disc being positioned proximate to an interior surface of the globe housing between the valve inlet and the valve outlet.
