Solenoid Valves
- Overview of Valve Operations
  
  Solenoid Valves transform power into a magnetic force that opens and closes valves efficiently. Our direct-acting solenoid valves are ideal for smaller flow rates. Use them with a wide variety of neutral media, including gases, water, synthetic oils and other materials.

Flow Coefficient - C_v - for Liquids (Metric)

C_v = 11.6 q (SG / ΔP)^1/2 (1b)

where

q = water flow (m³/h)

SG = specific gravity (1 for water)

ΔP = pressure drop (kPa)

For liquids the flow coefficient - C_v - expresses the flow capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60^oF water with a pressure drop of 1 psi (lb/in²).

Flow Coefficient - C_v - for Liquids (Imperial)

C_v = q (SG / ΔP)^1/2 (1)

where

q = water flow (US gallons per minute)

SG = specific gravity (1 for water)

ΔP = pressure drop (psi)

For liquids the flow coefficient - C_v - expresses the flow capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60^oF water with a pressure drop of 1 psi (lb/in²).
