Flow rate measurement procedure
Flow rate measurement procedure
Flow coefficient Kv (Kv value) of a valve
Defines the quantity of water in m3 (L) that flows through a valve in one hour (minute) with a pressure drop of 1 bar (VDI 2173). The Kv value is therefore a parameter for the selection of valve sizes
Flow coefficient αD
The flow coefficient α is a proportionality factor for the calculation of the flow rate through flow resistances, for example the following applies for orifice-shaped resistances with A = geometricall

Flow rate/pressure characteristic
Pressure flow characteristic of throttle shapes
The shape of a throttle largely defines the change in the throttle cross-section and therefore the characteristic of the flow. As (Figure D 89) shows, with a rectangular cross-section (a) there is a l
Pressure valve
As an independent valve : Pressure control valves are used to control or limit the system pressure in a plant or to switch in response to a signal pressure. Depending on the design a differentiation i
Pressure independent flow control
The expression characterises the interaction of a throttle function ( throttle valve , continuous directional valve) with a (control throttle) that provides a load pressure independent flow rate with
Pressure amplifier
Device in which the operation pressure p 1 of the primary pressure system is brought to a higher pressure p 2 in the secondary system. The pressure boost factor is given by the ratio of the primary an
Pressure stages
The pressure stages to be used in fluid technology are defined in DIN 24 312. They are taken from the preferred figure series R5 or R10 (Table D 3) . From these pressures a selection is defined in DIN
