About this document
Control Valve Sizing and Coefficients by amarnath98252 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Control valve sizing involves determining the valve coefficient (Cv or Kv) to select a valve that allows the required flow rate while providing stable control. The Cv is defined as the flow in gallons per minute through the valve under specific pressure drop conditions. An undersized or oversized valve can cause issues like inaccurate control or damage. Key factors in sizing include vapor pressure, cavitation, piping geometry, and pressure recovery characteristics.
