Week 6 - 2-Control Valve - Gain and Transfer Function
PO (Program Outcome)
PO1: Apply knowledge of mathematics, sciences, engineering fundamentals and
engineering specialization to solve complex engineering problems.
CO (course Outcome)
– CO1- Select suitable control elements for a particular control system
Control valve gain and transfer function
Gain
• Gain of the valve – change in output divided by the
change in the input
• Output of valve – flow
• Input of the valve is the controller output signal (in
percent controller output)

• Dependence of the valve position on the controller
output
– Simply the conversion of percent controller output to
fraction valve position
- Equal percentage
• Dependence of the Flow on the flow coefficient , Cv
– For liquid service
• Constant valve pressure drop
