From "Pocket Guide to Chemical Engineering" by C. R. Branan, Gulf, 1999.
Chapter: CONTROL VALVE DESIGN / Liquid flow
Table gives relative flow capacities of various types of control valves. This is a rough guide to use
in lieu of manufacturer's data. The liquid sizing formula is Cv=Q*sqrt(G/ΔP), where Cv=liquid
sizing coefficient, Q=flow rate in gpm, ΔP=body differential pressure, psi, G=sg (water at 60 oF =1)
Relative Flow Capacities of Control Valves (*)
Valve type Cv/d^2 Cv/d^2 (Fp) Cv/d^2 (Fl)
Double - seat globe 12 11 11
Single - seat top - guided globe 11.5 10.8 10
Single seat split body. 12 11.3 10
Sliding gate 6 to 12 6 to 11 not available
Single seat top - entry cage 13.5 12.5 11.5
Eccentric rotating plug (Camflex) 14 13 12
60 deg open butterfly 18 15.5 12
Single - seat Y valve (300 & 600 lb) 19 16.5 14
Saunders type (unlined) 20 17 not available
Saunders type (lined) 15 13.5 not available
Throttling (characterized) ball 25 20 15
Single - seat sreamlined angle (FtC) 26 20 13
90 deg open butterfly (average) 32 21.5 18
Note: d=valve dia, in
This table may serve only as a rough guide because actual flow capacities differ between manu -
facturer's products and individual valve sizes.
Fp : valve installed between pipe reducers (pipe dia = 2 x valve dia)
Fl : critical (choked) flow conditions
