G Series Valves
Engineering Data

CPV has conducted extensive flow tests and has established flow constants as CV factors for each size valve. The CV is defined as the gallons of water in a one minute period that will flow thru a valve in the full open position creating a pressure drop of 1 psi.

The pressure drop or AP for liquids can be calculated by using formula #1 and inserting the proper specific gravity.

The pressure drop for gases can be calculated by using formula #2 and inserting the proper specific gravity of the gas.
