a To minimize noise, ensure the flow rate in the piping is less than 10 ft (3M) / Second and the differential pressure is less than 35 psi (241 kPa), operating

with differential pressures above 35 psi may result in additional noise but is acceptable up to 87 psi (600 kPa). Operating within the cavitation zone
may result in noise and internal valve damage.

b Maximum recommended differential pressure in open position. Do not exceed recommended differential pressure (pressure drop), as integrity of

Flow Characteristics

Two-way valves with brass plugs have modified equal percent­age flow curves and valves with stainless steel plugs have
modified linear flow curves. With modified equal percent­age flow curves, for equal increments of valve stem stroke,
the change in flow rate with respect to valve stroke may be
expressed as a constant percent of the flow rate at the time
of the change. The change of flow rate with respect to valve
stroke is relatively small when the valve plug is near the valve
seat and relatively high when the valve plug is nearly wide
open. With modified linear flow curves, the flow is directly pro­portional to the valve stem position.

Selection Guide

Cavitation Limitations on Valve Pressure Drop

A valve selected with too high a pressure drop can cause erosion of seals and/or wire drawing of the seat. In addition, cavitation can
cause noise, damage to the valve trim (and possibly the body), and choke the flow.

Do not exceed the maximum differential pressure (pressure drop) for the valve selected.

The following formula can be used on higher temperature water systems, where cavitation could be a problem, to estimate the
maximum allowable pressure drop across the valve:

Pm = 0.5 (P1 – Pv)

Where:

Pm = Maximum allowable pressure drop (psi)

P1 = Absolute inlet pressure (psia)

Pv = Absolute vapor pressure (psia)

Note: Add 14.7 psi to gauge supply pressure to obtain absolute pressure value. For example, if a valve is controlling 200°F water
at an inlet pressure of 18 psig, the maximum pressure drop allowable would be:

Pm = 0.5 [(18 + 14.7) – 11.53] = 10.6 psi

(Vapor pressure of 200°F water is 11.53 psia)

If the pressure drop for this valve is less than 10.6 psi, cavitation should not be a problem. Systems where cavitation is shown
to be a problem can sometimes be adjusted to provide higher downstream back pressures. Valves having harder seat materials
should be furnished if inlet velocities cannot be lowered.

Water Capacity Graph Instructions

To Select the approproate valve Cv from the Graph:

1. Select the required flow from the “Flow in GPM” axis.

2. Select available pressure drop from the “Pressure Drop in psi” axis.

3. Select the appropriate line and follow to the Capacity Cv (Kv) listing to choose the closest valve Cv flow coefficient.

4. Confirm the selection by calculation from the water equations (optional).
