Title and Link to Calc:
Description:
Calculates flow parameters in a gate valve similar to Examples 4-1,
4-2 and 4-3 in Flow of Fluids Through Valves, Fittings, and Pipe, 1988
(reprinted 12/01), Crane Co. , K Values are calculated at complete
turbulence per page page A-26 through A-29 of the reference. The
flowrate of a specified fluid and 60 F air is calculated at the input
pressure conditions. The flow coefficent and equivalent lengths are
also calculated.
Alternative Descriptors:
Air Flow in Gate Valves, K of Gate Valves, Cv of Gate Valves,
Pressure drop in gate valves, Flow coefficient of gate valves, Head
Loss in gate valves, Resistance coefficient of gate valves, Flow of
Compressible Fluids through Gate Valves, Equivalent Length of gate
valves.
