Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Diaphragm valves can withstand pressures less than 1500 psig and should be used with flamma-ble gases because they do not allow leaks. A direct-acting valve contains two washers and a Tef-lon packing to prevent gas leakage around the threads.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The valve seat does not turn and is therefore resistant to scoring; it also uses a threaded stem in place of the packing found on the direct-acting valves. The direct-acting valve has two fiber washers.
