Though a needle valve is similar to a gate valve in design and operation it can be used as a throttling valve. Correct Answer True

The needle valve is similar to a gate valve in construction and operation. The closing element is in the shape of a long tapering endpoint. The long tapering endpoint of the valve results in a smaller surface area of the seat when compared to that of a gate valve’s seat. This is more appropriate for throttling applications.
