Valve

The document discusses equations for calculating flowrate and Cv values based on specific gravity, pressure drop, and maximum flowrate. It provides an example calculation where the measured Cv is 3.94405, the maximum possible Cv is 4.93038, and the Cv/Cv(max) ratio is 0.800, indicating the control valve is operating at 80% open for the given conditions.

SAMPLE

Pump PS with FCVL for Experiment 1

At Output MV 80%
C v 14.0 1.0 12.6

= 3.94405
C v (max) 15.9 1.0

10.4 = 4.93038

Cv / Cv(max) = 3.94405/4.93038 = 0.800
