🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow characteristics of gate valves vs globe valves (on/off vs throttling) • How pressure drop changes through different valve types when fully open • Typical maintenance and repair considerations for common valve designs

💭 Think About

• Think about which valve type is usually chosen when you want very little resistance to flow in the fully open position. • Consider which valve design gives the best control of flow rate when the valve is partially open (throttling). • Ask yourself: in practice on ships, which valve is used most often for frequent adjustments of flow, and which is mainly used simply open or shut?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which valve type has the least pressure drop when fully open. • Confirm which valve is generally considered best suited for throttling service. • Recall which valve design is primarily an on/off (stop) valve rather than a regulating valve.
