Description
Valve capacity
C
v
is a capacity coefficient that defines as the number of US gpm of
water that flows through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi across
the valve. Daniel valves have the following C
v
:
•
NPS 2: 86 gpm
•
NPS 3: 186 gpm
•
NPS 4: 309 gpm
•
NPS 6: 688 gpm
•
NPS 8: 1296 gpm
•
NPS 10: 2040 gpm
•
NPS 12: 2920 gpm
•
NPS 16: 5360 gpm
*C
v
based on wide open valve with water temperature at 60° F (16° C)

Design considerations
Some conditions to consider:
•
Service operating pressure
•
Service testing pressures
•
Service process temperature and ambient site temperatures
•
Chemical composition and toxicity of fluid in operating conditions
•
Traffic, wind and earthquake at loading site
•
Adverse force or stress caused by inadequate supports, attachments, piping, etc.
•
Corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc.
•
Decomposition of unstable fluids in operating and test conditions
•
Possible damage from external fire
•
Mass fluid in process and test conditions
WARNING
FUNCTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Evaluate the functional and environmental conditions prior to installing a control valve.
Install the control valve in a well-designed piping system.
Failure to comply may result in death or serious injury from pipe failure.
