A globe valve is the most suitable for applications, in which____________________?
Correct answer: D. Fluid flow control is required
- A. One way flow is required
- B. Fluid contains dispersed solid particles
- C. Valve is required to be either fully open or fully closed
- D. Fluid flow control is required
Explanation
A globe valve changes the flow path and provides good throttling control, so it is selected when flow regulation is needed. Gate valves are preferred for simple fully open or fully closed service, not continuous control.
