An angle stop is not intended to control water pressure for most applications. That being said, however, you can control the pressure with an angle stop valve (Aka angle pattern globe valve) while there is flow. As soon as the flow stops, then the pressure will equalise throughout the system.
I would suggest using a PRV or pressure reducing valve. This will control water pressure under most all conditions.

What is the purpose of flow control valves in relation to fluids?
A flow control valve is used to control and regulate the flow or pressure of fluids. A flow control valve may be used to regulate gas, steam, water and chemicals.
What is the function of the gravity disc in alfa laval purifier?
-to maintain a back pressure in the purifier -to control water flow through water port outlet -to control discharge of oil flow rate
What helps control the flow of water in a watershed?
helps control the flow of water
Why the diverging angle is smaller than converging angle for a venturimeter?
If the angle is greater than that, the pressure increases too quickly and the adverse pressure gradient will cause flow separation along the walls. By keeping the angle small, the flow remains attached and behaves nicely.
What is mean by cold chamber die casting machine?
cold chamber die casting machine can be divided into the direction of the direction of the flow of fluid in the hydraulic system used to control or regulate the pressure and flow valves, pressure valves and flow control valve three categories. A same shape as the valve, because of the different mechanisms of action have different functions. Pressure valve and flow valve with a throttle effect of the flow passage cross section to control the system pressure and flow direction valve replacement of the flow passage control the oil flow direction.
What happens when a hydraulic pump speed changes?
The flow and pressure changes. eg: If the speed is increased, the flow and pressure will increase. In some cases this could be regulated by flow and pressure control valves and the final flow/pressure result might be the same.
What is the function of a control valve and what equipment might feature one?
Control valves are typically used to control pressure, flow or the temperature of a liquid. They are used with plumbing in homes and hot water heaters. They are also used in vehicles. Control valves are used to control things like pressure, flow, temperature and liquid levels. There are many types of equipment that feature them, including manufacturing vats.
What powers the flow of water?
Normally gravity, but osmotic pressure can also cause water to flow.
A structure built across a river to control the flow of water?
A dam is built across a river to control the flow of water.
Can a flow meter measure my water pressure?
Yes you can use a flow meter to measure your water pressure. They are available at any home improvement retailer.
How do I turn-on water supply to hot water boiler it is heating but nothing goes to the radiators?
Check your gauge to make sure you have enough pressure and your flow control valve is not stuck
Does a water meter only measure the time that the water is flowing past it assuming that the water is always flowing at a constant pressure?
No. Most water meters are of the positive displacement type. They meter actual volume, and are pressure independent. Also note that water flow and pressure are not the same thing. You can have high flow with low pressure, and also low flow with high pressure, depending on the size of the pipe and/or openings (such as valves) and the pressure.
