what is the meaning if the control valve CV is 27,in terms
of selecting procedure?

Answer Posted / www.islamqa.com

#"Cv" for valve is known as: valve sizing coefficient or
valve flow coefficient

#It refers to " how many gallons per minute can pass
through a fully open valve under diffrential pressure of 1
PSI "

#Cv is a unitless value and by getting it's value we can
get the valve size in inch from tables.

#Cv is got from calculations using s/w provided by
manufacturer as we have many parameters affect its value,
and Cv value is critical as it affects valve size which
leads us - if wrong - to oversized valve or undersized
valve, which harm the process.

#Cv - as mentioned - is got from calculations using s/w,
but it has a basic formula for gas service and liquid
service.

#For liquid service:

Q = Cv (DP/ROH)^.5, ROH IS SPECIFIC GRAVITY

#For gas service:

Q = 963 Cv (DP(P1+P2)/ROH*T)^.5, T is gas temperature in
Rankin

Why does a pressure gauge installed on reactor, doesn't have any vent line below to release the pressure? Is it any kind of designing mistake or it actually does not require any vent line?
