Technical Notes

Variable Definitions

  • Service Type: Liquid / Gas / Two‑Phase sizing mode.
  • P₁, Pβ‚‚ (kPa(a)): Upstream/downstream absolute pressure.
  • wβ‚—, wᡍ (kg/h): Mass flowrates.
  • Fβ‚—, xβ‚œ: Pressure recovery and differential ratio factors.
  • Cv: Valve flow coefficient.

Formulas (IEC 60534)

  • Liquid: Cv = Q / (0.0865 Β· Fp Β· √(Ξ”P / Gf))
  • Gas: Cv = W / (35.6 Β· Fp Β· Y Β· √(x Β· P₁ Β· ρ₁))
  • Two‑Phase: Cv β‰ˆ √(Cv_liqΒ² + Cv_gasΒ²) (Screening only)

Assumptions

  • Pressures are absolute (kPa(a)).
  • Viscosity corrections are not applied.
  • Two-phase uses a root-sum-square engineering approximation.
