Aug 14, 2024 · Valve sizing is the process of ensuring a valve is appropriately matched to its intended application, guaranteeing efficient and reliable performance. It involves calculating and selecting the correct valve size to handle a system's specific flow rates, pressures, and fluid characteristics.
The control valve's size should be selected so that it will operate somewhere between 60 and 80% open at the maximum required flow rate and whenever possible, not much less than 20% open at the minimum required flow rate.
There are several aspects of sizing/selecting a control valve that must be addressed: Determine what the valve is supposed to do. Is this valve used for tight control or is ‘loose’ control acceptable.

control valve is a power operated device capable of modulating flow at varying degrees between minimal flow and full capacity in response to a signal from the controlling system. Control valves may be broadly classified by their function as “on-off” type or “flow regulating” type.

How to Size a Control Valve for Compressible Fluid. Learn the step-by-step process for sizing control valves for compressible fluid using the ISA and IEC’s recommended procedure. Webinar: Control Valve Sizing and Selection - Fisher Technology Quick Talk. This webinar focuses on control valve sizing and selection.
Apr 13, 2017 · The valve flow coefficient (Cv), or valve characteristic, is used to select the proper valve size while maintaining stable flow. The simple equation to calculate Cv is: Cv = (Flow) x m (Specific gravity of the media at flowing temperature/pressure drop)1/2
