Cv is the volume of water in U.S. gallons per minute that passes through the valve at a pressure drop of 1 PSI at 68F. Cv is in imperial units; in metric units, the same coefficient (often called the Flow Factor) is Kv and corresponds to the flow rate of water in cubic meters (m3) per hour at a pressure drop of 100kPa (1 bar) at 20 C.

FLOW COEFFICIENTS
The approximate corresponding formulas for flow are:

Q = Cv x

P x 62.4 D

Q = Kv x

P x 1000 D

Where: Q = Valve flow rate in gallons per minute (USGPM) P = Pounds per square inch (PSI) pressure drop across the valve 62.4 = Conversion factor for fluids computed in relation to water D = Density of fluids in pounds per cubic foot

Where: Q = Valve flow rate in cubic meters per hour (m3/h) P = pressure drop across the valve in Bar 1000 = Conversion factor for fluids computed in relation to water D = Density of fluids in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3)

The relationship between Cv and Kv, expressed in the above mentioned unit of measure, is as follows:

Kv =

RESILIENT SEAT MATERIALS

VITON (Fluorocarbon, FKM, or FPM)
Fluorocarbon elastomers are inherently compatible with a broad spectrum of chemicals. Because of this extensive chemical compatibility which spans considerable concentration and temperature ranges, fluorocarbon elastomers have gained wide acceptance as a material of construction for knife gate valve seats. Fluorocarbon can be used in most applications involving mineral acids, salt solutions, chlorinated hydrocarbons and petroleum oils. It is particularly good in hydrocarbon service. Temperature rating is from -20F to +300F. Color is gray (black) or red and may be used on bleached paper lines. Fluorocarbon (VITON) is not suitable for steam or hot water service.

BUNA-N (HYCAR or Nitrile)

Buna-N is a general purpose polymer which has good resistance to oil, water, solvents and hydraulic fluids. It also displays good compression, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. This material performs extremely well in process areas where paraffin base materials, fatty acids, oils, alcohols or glycerins are present, since it is totally unaffected. It should not be used around high polar solvents (acetones, ketones) chlorinated hydrocarbons, ozone, or nitro hydrocarbons. Temperature range is +225F maximum. Hycar is black in color and should not be used where discoloration cannot be tolerated. It is regarded as a comparable replacement to neoprene. Major differences are: Buna-N has a higher temperature limit; neoprene is more resistant to oils.

HYPALON
Hypalon has very good resistance to oxidation, ozone and good flame resistance. It is similar to neoprene except with improved acid resistance where it will resist such oxidizing acids as nitric, hydrofluoric and sulfuric acid. Abrasion resistance of Hypalon is excellent, about the equivalent of the nitriles. Oil and solvent resistance is somewhat between that of neoprene and nitriles. Salts have little if any effect on Hypalon. Hypalon is not recommended for exposure to concentrated oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons. Not to be used in steam service. Temperature rating is from 0F to +220F. Seats are white food grade and may be used on food service as well as bleached paper lines.

NEOPRENE
Neoprene was one of the first synthetic rubbers developed. It is an all purpose polymer with many desirable characteristics. Neoprene features high resiliency with low compression set flame resistance and animal and vegetable oil resistance. It is principally recommended for use in pulp and paper applications. Generally, neoprene is not recommended and is attacked by strong oxidizing acids, most chlorinated solvents, esters, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons and hydraulic fluids. Neoprene is not generally affected by moderate chemicals, fat, greases and many oils and solvents. Temperature rating is from -20F to +180F. Seats are black in color and should not be used on bleached paper lines.

EPDM
EPDM is a terpolymer elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tear resistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attacks by oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong acids, or strong alkalines. EPDM should not be used on compressed air lines. It has exceptionally good weather aging and ozone resistance. Temperature rating is from -20F to +225F (250F intermittent service). It is fairly good in ketones and alcohols.

PTFE (TFE or Teflon)

PTFE is the most chemically resistant of all plastics. It also has excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. PTFE's mechanical properties are low compared to other engineering plastics, but its properties remain at useful levels over a great temperature range (-40 to 400 F, depending on application).

RESILIENT SEAT MATERIALS

(continued)

RTFE (Reinforced TFE)

RTFE is compounded with a selected percentage of fiber glass filler to improve strength and resistance to abrasive wear, cold flow, and permeation in molded seats. Reinforcement permits application at higher pressure and temperature than unfilled TFE. Typical temperature range is -40F to 450F. RTFE should not be used in applications that attack glass, such as hydrofluoric acid and hot strong caustics.

Carbon Filled TFE

Carbon filled TFE is an excellent seat material for steam applications as well as high efficiency oil-based thermal fluids. Fillers including graphite enable this seat material to have a better cycle life than other filled or reinforced TFE seats. Temperature range is -20F to 500F. Chemical resistance is equal to other TFE seats.

THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS
UPVC (Unplasticised PVC)
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride is the most widely used of all plastics and commonly used for pressure pipes. It is rigid, suitable for above and below ground applications. UPVC has good chemical resistance and is odorless and tasteless. It is for use with liquids and gasses with temperatures +32F to +140F (for higher temperatures see CPVC) at a wide range of operating pressures. Some poorer quality PVC can leach chemicals into that water which can build up in recirculation systems, however most modern pipe is built to specific standards (e.g. BS3505/6, ASTM D 1785, ASTM D 2241, DIN 8061/2, KIWA 49, BS4346 PART 1, DIN 8063) and as long as the pipe is rated as such, there should be no problems. UPVC is usually joined using a push fit solvent cement joint, requiring no special tools.

CPVC (Corzan) (Chlorinated PVC)

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, or CPVC, has been offering the process industry superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and excellent life-cycle economics in a single package. Conceptually, CPVC is a PVC homopolymer that has been subjected to a chlorination reaction. It is generally inert to most mineral acids, bases, salts, and paraffinic hydrocarbon solutions. CPVC is not recommended for use with chlorinated or aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, or ketones. The upper temperature limit on Corzan CPVC is 200F. There is no lower temperature limit on Corzan CPVC and the material will withstand pressure. At very cold temperatures, the material will become brittle and the impact strength will decline.
