When comparing gate valves to globe valves, gate valves __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gate valves vs globe valves: typical uses on ships (isolation vs throttling) • How flow path affects pressure drop when fully open • Effect of differential pressure on how hard a valve is to operate

💭 Think About

• Think about which valve is normally used for ON/OFF isolation and which is used for throttling or regulating flow. • When a valve is fully open, which design gives a straighter, less restricted flow path? How does that affect pressure loss? • Under a large pressure difference, which valve design has a bigger area exposed to the pressure when starting to open, and what does that mean for operating force?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that throttling and pressure regulating are usually done with one specific valve type, not the other. • Consider which valve type is known for low pressure drop when fully open due to a nearly straight-through flow path. • Before choosing, match each option with the valve type it actually describes, then ask: "Does this statement really fit gate valves, or is it describing globe valves?"

Question 1 of 27070

When comparing gate valves to globe valves, gate valves __________.

are more effective at throttling flow.

require more force to open against large differential pressures.

produce a larger pressure decrease when fully open.

are more effective as pressure regulating valves.
