Which statement about calibrating a newly installed thermostatic expansion valve is correct?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — An accurate thermometer and suction pressure gage are essential to this process.

Accurately calibrating and verifying thermal expansion valve operation requires measuring evaporator suction pressure via a manifold gauge and correlating it to saturation temperature using an accurate thermometer on the suction line to calculate superheat.
