rev. 2.1 of April 3, 2019



Objectives

Choice of the intrinsic characteristic suitable for a given characteristic installed.The valve is installed in a circuit whose user pressure drop is Pu.


The authority of valve V is the parameter that will motivate the choice.Calculation of the transit flow rate for a given stroke value once the intrinsic characteristic has been chosen.

Data input for the liquid:

relative density of the liquid input:
