Influenceof CoolantsonFlowValues
The flow througha valve is defined by the k
v
-value. The k
v
-value is the flowm through a valve in [m³/h] at adifferential pressure
of 1 bar (14,5 psi) and is only valid for fluidswith a density of
σ
0
= 1000 kg/m³. This condition ismet bywater at a temperatureof
20°C (68°F). For fluidswith another density the following formula can be applied:

When the density
σ
is expressed in t/m³ instead of kg/m³ the correction factor f is the result. The correction factor f canbe used
to re-calculate kv-value, pressuredropand flow:
