Industrial-process control valves. Part 2: Flow capacity. Section One: Sizing equations for incompressible fluid flow under installed conditions

Deals with a general sizing equation for incompressible fluid flow under installed conditions. Factors are introduced which permit accurate sizing when choked conditions exist due to either cavitation or flashing. Procedures and factors are incorporated to handle installations where the valve is installed between fittings such as reducers, expanders, etc. A Reynolds number factor allows for applications where non-turbulent flow conditions exist caused by low differential pressure and/or high viscosity fluids. Numerical constants are presented permitting the use of three recognized flow coefficients: Av, Kv, and Cv.

Industrial-process control valves - Part 2-1: Flow capacity - Sizing equations for fluid flow under installed conditions

Includes equations for predicting the fow of compressible and incompressible fluids through control valves. Not intended for use when non-Newtonian fluids, fluid mixtures, slurries, or liquid-solid conveyance systems are encoutnererd. Equations for compressible fluids are for use with gas or vapour and are not inteded for use with multiphase streams such as gas-liquid, vapour-liquid or gas-solid mixtures. Valid for valves with xT smaller or equal to 0,84. The contents of the corrigendum of February 2000 have been included in this copy.
