Valve Selection and Sizing Guide

The document discusses valve selection and sizing. It covers the basic types of valves used for isolation, safety, and control. It then discusses important considerations for sizing control valves and pressure safety valves for liquid, gas, vapor, and two-phase processes. Key factors discussed include flow rate, inlet and outlet pressures, temperature, specific gravity, pressure drop, and flow coefficient. Proper valve sizing is emphasized for process stability, system efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

Valves Sizing Importance of Proper Sizing
Control Valves :
z Control Valves z Oversized valves provide poor control and can lead to
z Pressure Safety / Relief Valves system instability and excess wear.
z Under sized valves generally cannot pass the required
flows leads to process starvation.
Safety / Relief Valves :
z Oversized valves provide poor control and can lead to
system instability and excess wear (Chattering & High
Pressure Drop in Inlet.
z Under sized valves generally cannot pass the required
flows leads to process starvation, so the pressure still
high.

Control valve sizing Flow Coefficient Cv

How ??
z The flow rate of the process fluid is
mathematically converted to an equivalent
flow rate of a reference fluid (Cv).
z Cv : Valve industry Coefficient (Flow
capacity of valve)
z 1 Cv = 1 Gpm flow of H20 @ 60 degrees F
with 1 psid ∆P

Influences
Major Influences
On Flow Cv Calculation
• Available Energy (Pressure Drop)
(Dp = P1-P2)
Calculate Cv for the below condition:
• Flow Area (Diameter Of Restriction) Inlet Pressure = 100 psig
• Fluid Specific Gravity (SG) Outlet Pressure = 36 psig
Other Influences : Liquids Viscosity
Flow Rate = 80 gpm
Liquid = Water
SG = 1
Cv = 10

Influences On Flow Valve as a Variable Restriction

P1=100 psig P2=75psig

DP=100 psig – 75 psig = 25 psid
