(Le/D) for fully open globe value may be around__________________?
Correct answer: D. 300
- A. 10
- B. 25
- C. 75
- D. 300
Explanation
A fully open globe valve has a large resistance because the flow changes direction and passes through a restricted, tortuous passage. Its equivalent length is therefore high, commonly around 300 pipe diameters.
