What can cause damage to the valve to the point that it will not seat and stop flow when closed?
A) Opening or closing a valve
B) Throttling a valve that is not designed for throttling
C) Failure to clean and lubricate valve stems
D) Improper closing of a valve on a high-pressure line
Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Excessive force when opening or closing a valve can cause leakage and make the valve difficult to open or close.
B) Correct. Throttling a valve that is not designed for throttling can cause damage to the valve to the point that it will not seat and stop flow when closed.
