TABLE 11 B.F.E. VALVES FLOW COEFFICIENT "Ov" factor isthe most common data used but usualy is obtained by flow tests. This example, For gaseous fds, the engineering to determine vale flow charateristcs. data allows computing of pressure drop will use proper formulas on which factors "Or" indicates the number of US. Gallons starting from a known flow rate or reverse resulting from fluid type (rapou,satured or per minute of water at 70°F which flows anit is applicable both fofluid and gaseous superheated steam, et, differential pressu through the alveat a pressure drops of one media, ‘9, temperature, flow velocity, etc, must be ai.
