Which of the following facilitates close control of flow of fluids ?
Correct answer: A. Globe valve
- A. Globe valve
- B. Gate valve
- C. Butterfly valve
- D. Check valve
Explanation
A globe valve has a flow path designed for throttling, so its opening can be adjusted accurately to control flow. Gate and check valves are primarily for isolation and one-way flow, respectively, rather than close regulation.
