Databook has to be read and assimilated before using the worksheet.

It is advised to make the first calculation by hand in order to have a better comprehension of the method applied.

1 REFERENCE
This note is in accordance with the international standard for sizing control valves
All formulas are available in the sheet " Formulas_comparison". Formulas enclosed in blue are used in the sheet "design"

2 ASSUMPTIONS
Calculation consider valves without adjacent fittings
They are made for turbulent flowrates

3 DOMAIN OF VALIDITY
NA

4 FORMULAS
4.1.Symbols
Cv = valve sizing coefficient
q = Volumetric flowrate(m3/h)
W = Mass flowrate (kg/h)
P1 = Upstream absolute static pressure
P2 = downstream absolute static pressure
Pv = Absolute vapor pressure of liquid at inlet temperature.
Pc = Absolute thermodynamic critical pressure

d1l=upstream liquid density, kg/m3 d2l=Downstream liquid density, kg/m3
d1v=upstream vapor density, kg/m3 d2v=Downstream vapor density, kg/m3

5 OBJECTIVE
This worksheet permits to calculate :
- The Cv of the valve for liquid, vapor or two phase flows.
Cv is the sizing coefficient used to characterize the flow capacity of valves. It corresponds to the number of US gallons flowing though the
valve in one minute when the valve differential pressure is 1 PSI.
- The flowrate circulating across the valve for a given Cv will be calculated with a manual approach of the specific flowrate.

6 INPUT
Input have to be filled into yellow boxes

xT and Cf coefficients depend on the kind of valve. Their values for the main types of valves are recorded in the sheet "table".
Default values are atribuate to coefficients gamma, xT and Cf if the corresponding cells are kept empty (Cf cells comments)

Curves describing the Cv % evolution in function of the shutting valve is available in the guard "opening"
This evolution can be simulated with parabolic (P), linear (L), equal % (%) ou quick opening (QO) curves

7 RESULTS
Results are displayed into blue boxes and these cells are protected.

NOTE
1) In the calculation sheet:
It is considered a valve installed without adjacent fitting and so FP =1
It is considered a turbulent flow and so FR =1
2) If it is considered fitting attached to the valve, xT should be replaced by xTP which combine xT and piping geometry factor
3) Fitting attached to valve can have a significant impact for high recovery valves ( example: rotary valves like butterfly or ball valves) which
have a rather low pressure drop coefficient at full opening. Manufactrers often provide FP values for swages installed adjacent to such rotary valves.
4) Fr= facteur du nombre de Reynolds Si Rev<56; Fr=0.019 (Rev)^0.67
Si Rev>40000; Fr=1
Si 56<Re<40000; cf coubes de Fisher (p2-7)
5) Formulation enclosed in blue are used in the sheet "design"
