VALVE SIZING AND CV


Coefficient of velocity, CV, is widely used to compare flow rating of valves.
The greater the coefficient, the higher the flow rating. Often it is useful to convert CV into scfm (standard cubic feet per minute) or scfm to CV. Although
CV represents flow capacity at all pressures, scfm represents flow at a specific air pressure. The accompanying table relates CV to scfm for pressures
commonly encountered with industrial pneumatic systems.

To determine CV from scfm, simply multiply the scfm value by the factor corresponding to the appropriate pressure.
ONE SIZING METHOD
Different methods can be used for sizing air valves, and one popular method
is explained here. You may consider oversizing the valve by 20% to 25% to
compensate for the inevitable losses in a pneumatic system.
A formula and table will yield the valve velocity coefficient (CV) for operating a cylinder within a specific cycle period:
CV = A X S X CPXFC
T X 29

To obtain flow in scfm at a particular pressure, divide the CV value by the


appropriate factor from the table. For example, to determine the output in
scfm of a valve with a CV of 0.52 when operated at 80 psi, simply divide 0.52
(the valves CV) by 0.212 (the factor from the table corresponding to 80 psi):

Use P at 5 psi to determine pressure-drop constant for most industrial applications.


Use 2 psi for critical applications or 10 psi to conserve cost and mounting space.
