What is the Coefficient of Flow (Cv) of Valves

What is the Coefficient of Flow (Cv) of Valves

The "Coefficient of Flow," often referred to as the "Flow Coefficient" or simply "Cv," is a measure of the efficiency of a valve in controlling fluid flow through a system. It is a dimensionless number that provides an indication of how much flow a valve can allow for a given pressure drop across...

Features of DBB and DIB Structure Ball Valves

The above drawing shows DBB structure. It is of single piston and is sealed inlet end. The pressure can be automatically relieved for overpressure in the middle cavity, thus realizing the valve chamber and pipeline pressure balance. Besides, it has no installation direction requirement.

Rising Stem Gate Valve VS Non-rising Stem Gate Valve

Gate valves are widely used in pipeline systems as a shut-off device. It can be divided into rising stem gate valves and non-rising stem gate valves, and what are the differences between these two types of gate valves?
