    This set of Environmental Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on
    Types of Valves.

    1. Which of the following is known as Shut off valve?


    a) Air relief valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Pressure relief valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Sluice valve is called as shut off valve as the water in pipes can be shut off from them.
    They offer no resistance to the flow of water when the valve is wide open.

    2. The spacing between the Sluice valves is


    a) 10m
    b) 30m
    c) 80m
    d) 180m
    View Answer

    Answer: d
    Explanation: The spacing between the Sluice valves lies between 150-300m. They can be placed at
    street corners or where the two pipelines intersect.

    3. Which of the following is used to stop the water supplies when required?
    a) Air relief valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Pressure relief valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Sluice valves are used to stop the water supplies when required.They are also helpful
    in dividing the water mains into suitable sections.

    4. The Gate valves are made of _______ with brass mountings.


    a) Cement concrete
    b) Reinforced concrete
    c) Cast iron
    d) Galvanized iron
    View Answer
    Answer: c
    Explanation: The Gate valves are made of cast iron with brass mountings. They are of two types,
    namely solid wedge type and double disk type.

    5. _______ valves are used to discharge air from the water pipelines.
    a) Air relief valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Pressure relief valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: The water flowing through the water pipelines contains some air, which may interfere
    with the flow. So, it is removed with the help of Air relief valves.

    6. _________ valve allows water to flow in one direction only.


    a) Air relief valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Reflux valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Reflux valves are an automatic device which allows water to flow in one direction only
    and avoids the back flow of water or prevents the damage of the pump.

    7. Which of the following is known as washout valve?


    a) Scour valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Reflux valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Scour valve is known as washout valve. They are either located at the dead ends or at
    the lowest point in the mains.

    8. Which of the following valve is known as a safety valve?


    a) Scour valve
    b) Pressure relief valve
    c) Reflux valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Pressure relief valve is known as automatic cut off or safety valves. They are located at
    points where pressure is likely to be maximized.
    9. Which of the following is also known as check valve?
    a) Scour valve
    b) Pressure relief valve
    c) Altitude valve
    d) Reflux valve
    View Answer

    Answer: d
    Explanation: Reflux valve is known as non-return valve or check valve. They are placed in water
    pipes which obtain water directly from the pumps.

    10. The valve which is preferred in elevated tanks and stand pipes is
    a) Altitude valve
    b) Pressure relief valve
    c) Reflux valve
    d) Air relief valve
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Altitude valve is preferred in elevated tanks and stand pipes.They are open when the
    pressure on the pump side is less than the tank side of the valve.

    11. ______ valves are used to remove sand and silt from the pipelines.
    a) Air relief valve
    b) Sluice valve
    c) Scour valve
    d) Altitude valve
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Scour valves are provided to blow off the sand and silt deposited in the pipeline. This
    operation is done manually.
