To find Kv: What Kv is required to pass 22 litres of oil per minute with a specific gravity
of 0,9 and a pressure drop of 1,5 bar?
Kv (m3 /h) =
Q (m3 /h)
Fgm . Fsg
Kv (Nm3 /h) =
Q (Nm3 /h)
Fgm . Fsg
Kv (m3 /h) =
Q (kg/h)
Fgm
Kv (l/min) =
Q (m3 /h)
Fgl . Fsg
Kv (Nl/min) =
Q (Nm3 /h)
Fgl . Fsg
Kv (l/min) =
Q (kg/h)
Fgl

Flow calculation
General: Pressure drop values for which no
curves are shown, may be determined by
interpolation in the graphs. However, more
accurate results can be obtained for the
calculation of the required values by using
the following equations (on which the flow
graphs are based):
p1 = absolute inlet pressure (bar) =
gauge pressure plus atmospheric
pressure of 1,013 bar
p2 = absolute outlet pressure (bar) =
gauge pressure plus atmospheric
pressure of 1,013 bar
p = p1 - p2 = pressure drop across the
valve (bar)
t = 0C
