Which risk increases when water flows through a partially closed globe valve at high velocity?

💡 Explanation

When water flows through a constricted valve at high velocity, the pressure drops locally below the water's vapor pressure, leading to cavitation because of rapid bubble formation and collapse against valve surfaces. Therefore cavitation erosion increases rather than water hammer, turbulence errors, or frictional heating which need different conditions.
