Which operational problem arises when the actuator of a modulating control valve experiences stiction?

💡 Explanation

When a control valve actuator has stiction, the valve sticks and then suddenly jumps due to static friction overcoming the applied force, creating limit cycles that cause oscillations. Therefore, flow oscillations results rather than erosion, energy consumption, or pressure spikes which depend on other factors.
