Capacity Information
Tables 4 and 5 give regulating capacities in U.S. GPM of
water (multiply by 0.2271 to convert to m
3
/h of water).
To determine regulating capacities at pressure settings not
given in Tables 4 and 5 or to determine wide-open capacities
for relief sizing at any inlet pressure, use the Catalog 10 liquid
sizing procedures in conjunction with the appropriate liquid
sizing coefcients (C
v
and K
m
, see Tables 6 through 8). Convert
to m
3
/h according to the preceding paragraph if necessary.

Maximum Allowable Pressure Drop for
Liquid Service
Pressure drops in excess of allowable will result in choked ow
and possible cavitation damage.
Choked ow is the formation of vapor bubbles in the liquid
owstream causing a crowding condition at the vena
contracta which tends to limit ow through the regulator.
The vena contracta is the minimum cross-sectional area
of the ow stream occurring just downstream of the actual
physical restriction.
Cavitation and ashing are physical changes in the process
uid. The change is from the liquid state to the vapor state and
results from the increase in uid velocity at or just downstream
of the greatest ow restriction, normally the regulator orice.
To determine the maximum allowable pressure drop for water:
∆P

where:
∆P = Valve differential in psi
K
