    What is a Cv?

    Control valve CV refers to the flow coefficient of the valve. It applies to the coefficient of pressure drop(ΔP) or head drop (Δh) on the valve of Q(flow capacity).

    For more definitions and related information, please read this article.

    Flow Coefficient Calculation Cv

    The flow rate of a liquid or gas through a valve depends on many factors such as density, temperature, gravity, and the pressure drop of the liquid or gas through the valve. The design type and flow path of the valve has different effect on the flow rate through the valve. Considering the relationship between temperature, gravity, and pressure drop through the valve, a “flow coefficient” can be calculated to determine the theoretical flow rate through the valve. This coefficient is called Cv (coefficient of flow) and it is developed by the flow capacity testing from the manufacturer.

    Liquids: 

    liquid valve cv

    Equation Abbreviations – Liquids:

    Q = Flow (Barrels/Day)

    Cv= Flow Factor

    ΔP = Pressure Drop Across Valve

    G = Specific Gravity (Water=1.0)

    Gas:

    gas valve cv

    Equation Abbreviations – Gas:

    Q = Flow (MMSCFD)

    Cv = Flow Factor

    P1 = Inlet Pressure (psia)

    P2 = Outlet Pressure (psia)

    ΔP = Pressure drop (P1-P2). When P2 is less than 1/2 P1, use 1/3 P1, for P2 in the formula.

    G = Specific Gravity (air=1.0)

    T = Flowing Temperature Absolute (°F + 460)

    If flow capacity required is known and valve selection is desired, calculate Cv with the following formula and select the appropriate valve from the manufacturer’s Cv factor chart.

    Butterfly Valve Cv Flow Rate

    Generally, we work on metric systems, but many engineers still prefer to express flow coefficients in terms of Cv values. The imperial system measures flow in US GPM at 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve. The following table shows the flow rate of a butterfly valve between 0°(fully closed) and 90° (fully open) with the valve at different openings. Please notice that the Cv value is not a linear increment, so it cannot be deduced just by looking at the value. These sheets of flow coefficients are just for your reference.

    globe Control valve cv

    For example: 1″ globe valve cv. The Cv (flow coefficient) of a 1″ globe valve will depend on a range of factors, including the valve design, the flow medium, and the pressure drop across the valve. The Cv value is a measure of a valve’s flow capacity, and it represents the number of gallons of water that can pass through the valve at a pressure drop of one psi. For a 1″ globe valve, the Cv value could range from 0.14 to 15, depending on the specific valve model and application requirements.

    Manual Globe Valve Cv Table

    Here is a table showing some typical Cv values for manual globe valves of varying sizes:

    Valve SizeCv Value
    1/2″2 – 7
    3/4″5 – 20
    1″7 – 50
    1 1/4″15 – 80
    1 1/2″25 – 130
    2″40 – 250

    Please note that these Cv values are just examples and may vary depending on the specific valve model and application requirement.

    Gate Valve Cv

    Gate valves do not have a Cv curve like some other types of valves because they operate with the valve fully open or fully closed. The Cv value is not used to determine the flow rate through a gate valve, but rather to size the valve based on the required flow rate and pressure drop.

    How to Use Valve Cv?

    The valve coefficient (Cv) is a number that represents a valve’s ability to pass flow. The bigger the Cv, the more flow a valve can pass with a given pressure drop. A Cv of 1 means a valve will pass 1 gallon per minute (GPM) of 60oF water with a pressure drop (dp) of 1 PSI across the valve. A Cv of 350 means a valve will pass 350 GPM of 60oF water with a dp of 1 PSI.

    Equation 1: Flow Capacity LBS/Hr (steam or water)

    flow rate dp or cv

    dp= pressure drop in PSI

    F=flow rate in lbs./hr.

    specific volume=square root of a specific volume in ft3/lb. (downstream of the valve)

    Equation 2: Flow Capacity GPM (Water or other liquids)

     flow rate gpm water or other liquids

    dp= pressure drop in PSI

    Sg=specific gravity

    Q=flow rate in GPM

    Restrictions

    The velocity equation is invalid under the following conditions.

    a. For compressible fluids, the pressure drop is more than half of the inlet pressure.

    b. For incompressible fluids, when the pressure drop causes cavitation or flashing.

    c. For two-phase flows, such as a mixture of steam and water.

    The optimum operating speed should be within these ranges when sizing check valves as below.

    sizing for check valve 1

    Question A:

    What is the pressure drop through a 14″ Class 900 pressure seal gate valve with 400oF water, 1500 PSIG, and 5,000,000 lbs/hr flow rate?

    Answer A: Use Equation 1

    F=5,000,000

    specific volume=0.137 (from the chart for water at 400oF)

    Cv=9150 (from pressure seal gate valve Cv sheet)

    Question B:

    What is the pressure drop through a 14″x12″x14″ Class 900 Venturi pressure seal gate valve with the same conditions as question A.

    Answer B: Use Equation 1

    Cv = 6285 (from Venturi pressure seal gate valve Cv Sheet)

    solution 2 dp

    Question C:

    What is the smallest Class 2500 gate valve that will have less than a 5 PSI pressure drop in 900oF, 1200 PSI steam service at a flow rate of 500,000 lbs/hr?

    Answer C: Use Equation1.

    F=500,000

    specific volume=0.785 (from chart for steam at 900oF, 1200 PSIG)

    dp root=root 5=2.24

    cv for solution3

    The closest higher Cv is a 10″ Class 2500 gate with a Cv of 3130. This is the smallest valve with a pressure drop of less than 5 PSIG.

    Calculating Seat Port Velocity 

    The following formulas can be used to calculate seat port velocity in any valve:

    Flow (lbs/hr): vel: (fps) = F(specific volume)2  /25A

    Flow (GPM): vel: (fps) = 0.32Q/A

    Where: F=flow (lbs/hr)

    specific volume=square root of specific volume

    A=seat port area (in2)

    Q=flow (GPM)

    Case A:

    What is the seat port velocity in a 12″ Figure 58809 (Class 900) check valve with a flow rate of 90,000 lbs/hr of steam at 500 oF and 200 PSIG?

    Solution A:

    From the steam sheet is 1.61, and from the seat port area sheet A is 78.5 in2.

    Vel (fps) =F(specific volume)2 /25A    = 90,000 (1.61)2  /25(78.5)= 118.8 fps

    Case B:

    What is the seat port velocity in a 12″ Figure 180 (Class 150) Swing Check Valve with a flow rate of 90,000 lbs/hr of steam at 500oF and 200 PSIG?

    Solution B:

    From the Sheet specific volumeis 1.61 and A is 113.1 in3.

    Vel (fps) =F(specific volume)2 /25A =90,000 (1.61)2/25(113.1)= 82.5 fps

    Estimating Cv For Less Than Fully Open Valves

    Figure 2. Globe Stop, Stop-Check, and Lift-Check Valves

    figure 2

    Figure 3. Y-Globe Stop, Stop-Check and Lift-Check Valves

    figure 3

    The flow coefficient (Cv) listed in the tables applies to fully open valves only. Flow coefficients other than fully open may be approximated by use of the characteristic flow curves for tilting disc check and globe valves. Gate valves are not recommended for throttling service.

    Case 3:

    What is the Cv of a 12 inch Class 900 Pacific pressure seal globe valve 1/4 open?

    Solution 3:

    From the flow coefficient table above, the fully open Cv for a 12 inch, Class 900 globe valve is 1820.

    Consulting Figure 2, the percent of fully open Cv at 1/4 valve open is 52%.

    The Cv at 1/4 open is then computed as:

    0.52 x 1820 = 946.
