Flow Equations
Dimensional Flow Coefficient (Cv and Kv) Calculation

flow coefficient schem A: Area
C: Discharge coefficient (non-dimensional)
d: density ( water density = 1000kg/m³)
D: Diameter
g: Gravity 9.8 m/s²
K: Flow coefficient (dimensional) (Kv)(Cv)
Q: Flow rate
SG: Specific gravity (1 for water)
v: Velocity
Δh: Head Drop (high of fluid)
ΔP: Pressure Drop

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
K = Q / sqrt(ΔP/SG)
K = Cv, when K is referenced in [gpm] [psi] units.
K = Kv, when K is referenced in [m³/h] [bar] units.

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
K = C · sqrt( 2 /d) · ( D )² · π/4
K = Cv, when K is referenced in [gpm] [psi] units.
K = Kv, when K is referenced in [m³/h] [bar] units.

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
K = C · sqrt(2/(1000·SG)) · ( D )² · π/4
K = Cv, when K is referenced in [gpm] [psi] units.
K = Kv, when K is referenced in [m³/h] [bar] units.

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
K1 <=======> K2
K = Cv, when K is referenced in [gpm] [psi] units.
K = Kv, when K is referenced in [m³/h] [bar] units.

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
Kv <=======> Cv
[m³/h] [bar] [gpm] [psi]

Equations: Flow Coefficient Cv Kv
Cv <=======> Kv
[gpm] [psi] [m³/h] [bar]
