Which malfunction occurs when improperly sized pneumatic control valve rapidly closes during high flow?

💡 Explanation

When a valve rapidly closes during high flow, the momentum of the fluid is suddenly stopped inducing a pressure surge (water hammer) because the kinetic energy is converted into pressure. Therefore, a pressure surge results rather than buckling, actuator, or cavitation which require different failure modes.
