Valves Sizing Importance of Proper Sizing
Control Valves :
z Control Valves z Oversized valves provide poor control and can lead to
z Pressure Safety / Relief Valves system instability and excess wear.
z Under sized valves generally cannot pass the required
flows leads to process starvation.
Safety / Relief Valves :
z Oversized valves provide poor control and can lead to
system instability and excess wear (Chattering & High
Pressure Drop in Inlet.
z Under sized valves generally cannot pass the required
flows leads to process starvation, so the pressure still
high.

Control valve sizing Flow Coefficient Cv

How ??
z The flow rate of the process fluid is
mathematically converted to an equivalent
flow rate of a reference fluid (Cv).
z Cv : Valve industry Coefficient (Flow
capacity of valve)
z 1 Cv = 1 Gpm flow of H20 @ 60 degrees F
with 1 psid ∆P

Influences
Major Influences
On Flow Cv Calculation
• Available Energy (Pressure Drop)
(Dp = P1-P2)
Calculate Cv for the below condition:
• Flow Area (Diameter Of Restriction) Inlet Pressure = 100 psig
• Fluid Specific Gravity (SG) Outlet Pressure = 36 psig
Other Influences : Liquids Viscosity
Flow Rate = 80 gpm
Liquid = Water
SG = 1
Cv = 10

Influences On Flow Valve as a Variable Restriction

P1=100 psig P2=75psig

DP=100 psig – 75 psig = 25 psid
