Yes, a globe valve can technically be installed upside down, but it is not recommended. This orientation may affect the valve's performance, leading to issues such as improper sealing and flow restriction. To ensure optimal functionality and longevity, it's best to install the valve in the manufacturer's recommended position, typically with the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

The easiest way is to install two pressure gauges (If reducing pressure) either side of the reducing valve, you will then have indication of upstream pressure and down stream pressure, of which you can adjust to suit you process.
There are various kinds of pressure valves. Perhaps the 2 most common in homes are the PRV (pressure regulating valve) which is on most incoming water pipes from a city supply. This valve limits the pressure entering the home system, bringing it down from city mains pressure. The second is on every hot water tank, and this is a relief valve, which will open up if the pressure in the tank becomes too high and vent the excess water down the drain.
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
it controls the pressure
To regulate the pressure to a pre-determined amount.
A water pressure valve replacement is necessary when the valve is malfunctioning or not regulating water pressure properly, which can lead to issues such as low water pressure or damage to plumbing fixtures.

When the pressure becomes erratic time to replace
By a pressure regulating valve- or regulator.
To install a pressure reducing valve, first turn off the water supply. Then, cut the pipe where the valve will be installed and remove any debris. Attach the valve to the pipe using appropriate fittings and secure it in place. Finally, turn the water supply back on and adjust the valve to the desired pressure level.

It is built into the oil pump.
Pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure of fluid upto a predetermined pressure in this case downstream pressure will be obviously lower than upstream pressure but in case of pressure regulating valve it will regulate the pressure( either increase or decrease) depending on the requirement of system at that time.
