Description

Formerly S75.01. Presents equations for predicting the flow of compressible and incompressible fluids through control valves. The equations are not intended for use when mixed-phase fluids, dense slurries, dry solids, or non-Newtonian liquids are encountered. In addition, the prediction of cavitation, noise, or other effects is not a part of this standard.
Scope:
This standard presents equations for predicting the flow of compressible and incompressible fluids through control valves. The equations are not intended for use when mixed-phase fluids, dense slurries, dry solids, or non-Newtonian liquids are encountered. In addition, the prediction of cavitation, noise, or other effects is not a part of this standard.
Purpose:
The equations of this standard are based on the use of experimentally determined capacity factors obtained by testing control valve specimens according to the procedures of ANSI/ISA-75.02-1996, ‘Control Valve Capacity Test Procedures’.
The equations are used to predict the flow rate of a fluid through a valve when all the factors, including those related to the fluid and its flowing condition, are known. When the equations are used to select a valve size, it is often necessary to use capacity factors associated with the fully open or rated condition to predict an approximate required valve flow coefficient (Cv). This procedure is further explained in Annex A.
