The flow coefficient - C v - let us compare flow capacities of valves at different sizes, types and manufacturers. The flow coefficie

Flow Coefficient - C v - for Liquids

For liquids the flow coefficient - C v - expresses the flow capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60 o F water with a pressure dro Flow expressed by volume C v = q (SG / dp) 1/2 where q = water flow (US gallons per minute) (1)

SG = specific gravity (1 for water)

dp = pressure drop (psi) or alternatively in SI units: C v = 11.6 q (SG / dp) 1/2 where q = water flow (m 3 /h) (1b)

SG = specific gravity (1 for water)

dp = pressure drop (kPa)

ufacturers. The flow coefficient is in general determined experimentally and express the flow capacity in imperial units - GPM (US gallons per minute) of w

F water with a pressure drop of 1 psi (lb/in 2 ) . Flow is expressed by weight C v = w / (500 (dp SG) 1/2 ) where w = water flow (lb/h) (1c)

SG = specific gravity (1 for water)

dp = pressure drop (psia) or alternatively in SI units: C v = 5.8 w / (500 (dp SG) 1/2 ) where w = water flow (kg/h) (1d)
