      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.

Valve Capacity

DESCRIPTION

Please select media

  • Liquid
  • Gas

Flow Coefficient - Cv - for Liquids (Metric)

Cv = 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 - Cv - expresses the flow capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60oF water with a pressure drop of 1 psi (lb/in2).

Flow Coefficient - Cv - for Liquids (Imperial)

Cv = 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 - Cv - expresses the flow capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60oF water with a pressure drop of 1 psi (lb/in2).

STEP 1 : Select Unit

STEP 2 : Select Liquid
 
 
STEP 3 : Enter Specific Gravity (if User Defined)
  Specific Gravity
 
STEP 4 : Add flow rate and pressure drop

Flow Coefficient - Cv - for Air and other Gases

Cv = q [SG (T + 460)]1/2/ [1360 (dp po)1/2]

where

dp = (pi - po)

po = outlet gas absolute pressure (psia)

 
STEP 1 : Select Unit
