The correct answer is: globe.
Explanation:
A remote control valve is most commonly a globe valve, due to its:
Excellent throttling (flow regulation) capability,
Precise control over flow rate.
Suitability for automation and remote actuation.
These valves are often actuated remotely via:
Pneumatic actuators,
Electric motors.
Hydraulic actuators.
Why Not Others?
Gate valve: Primarily used for on/off service, not suitable for throttling.
Butterfly valve: Good for on-off and moderate throttling, but not as precise.
Needle valve: Excellent for precise control, but typically used in small lines, not remote-controlled in large systems.
Final Answer: globe.

A remote control valve is a butterfly valve.
Butterfly valves are commonly used for remote control applications because they can be easily operated with an actuator, allowing for quick and efficient flow control in pipelines.
