Cv/Kv Valve Flow Coefficient Calculator
This calculator determines either the **Flow Coefficient (Cv or Kv)** for a control valve or the **Flow Rate (Q)** through a valve, based on given parameters. Valve flow coefficients are essential for proper valve sizing and selection in various industrial applications, ensuring efficient and controlled fluid flow.
It supports calculations for both **Imperial (Cv)** and **Metric (Kv)** units for liquid flow.
- **Cv (Flow Coefficient - Imperial):** Defined as the flow rate of water in US gallons per minute (GPM) at 60°F that will cause a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve.
- **Kv (Flow Coefficient - Metric):** Defined as the flow rate of water in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) at 20°C that will cause a pressure drop of 1 bar across the valve.
