Control Valves (Quiz)

I. Multiple Choice – Write the letter of your answer before the number.

________ 1. It is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal
from a controller.

a. Solenoid c. Control Valve

b. Actuator d. ON-OFF Valves

_______ 2. This relates to the function which the valve is to perform.

a. ON-OFF Valves c. Pressure relief

b. Flow control d. Application Function

_______ 3. These are typically ball valves and are used for shut off and isolation purposes.

a. ON-OFF Valves c. Pressure relief

b. Flow control d. Application Function

_______ 4. This course is primarily aimed at regulating valves for the purpose of modulation control in continuous
systems.

a. ON-OFF Valves c. Pressure relief

b. Flow control d. Application Function

________ 5. Are valves that provide suitable overpressure protection

a. ON-OFF Valves c. Pressure relief

b. Flow control d. Application Function

________ 6. Characteristic of a control valve flow where it is approximately midway between linear and equal-
percentage characteristics

a. Quick Opening c. Equal Percentage

b. Linear d. Modified Parabolic Characteristic

________ 7. Characteristic of a control valve flow where it provides large changes in flow for very small changes in
lift. It usually has too high a valve gain for use in modulating control.

a. Quick Opening c. Equal Percentage

b. Linear d. Modified Parabolic Characteristic

________ 8. Characteristic of a control valve flow wherein flow capacity increases linearly with valve travel.

a. Quick Opening c. Equal Percentage

b. Linear d. Modified Parabolic Characteristic

________ 9. Characteristic of a control valve flow wherein flow capacity increases exponentially with valve trim
travel.
