SIZING CONSIDERATIONS |
|
Flow Characteristics Based upon standard orifice plate bore size with water as the flowing media. Consult factory for other liquids and flow rates.
Sizing Rate of Flow Control Valves Using the flow characteristics chart above, select the size where the design flow rate comes closest to the middle of the flow range shown. For example, for 300 gpm, the best size would be a 3". Sometimes a valve selected in this manner will be less than line size, and there may not be room for reducers. By changing to a small-than-standard orifice plate, larger valves can be used at lower flow rates than those shown. Consult factory for details. For a comprehensive guide to sizing, refer to OCV ValveMaster Sizing & Selection software. |
