70% to passWhat type of valve is shown in the illustration? Illustration GS-0047
ACheck valve
BButterfly valve
CGlobe valve
DGate valve
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Gate valve. A gate valve is a type of valve that uses a movable gate or wedge to control the flow of fluid. The illustration GS-0047 depicts the cross-section of a gate valve, which matches the physical characteristics and operation of this type of valve. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A check valve is designed to allow flow in only one direction, B) A butterfly valve uses a rotary disc to control flow, and C) A globe valve uses a rounded or spherical disc to restrict flow, rather than the linear motion of a gate valve.
