CV AND KV CONTROL VALVE CONVERTER

CV and KV conversion

CV to KV conversion



KV to CV conversion





The CV (also named Kv or flow coefficient) is defined as the volume of water (in gallons) at 60F which flows per minute through a valve which has a pressure drop of 1psi.

The Cv is more or less how big is the hole.

What is the Cv or Kv in a control valve?

Note: The formula shown in the following drawing is a simplified calculation, the calculation of the exact Cv depends on more factors, however with this formula in many cases an approximate calculation can be made.
