A control valve, with a turndown ratio of 50, follows equal percentage characteristics. The flow rate of a liquid through the valve at 40% stem position is 1 m3/h. What will be the flow rate in m3/h at 50% stem position, if the pressure drop across the valve remains unchanged? (Up to 2 digits after the decimal point.)

Correct : 1.40
