Valve CV Sizing Liquids Gases

The document provides calculations for sizing valves for liquid and gas flow. It includes formulas to calculate the flow coefficient (Cv) based on input data like flow rate, pressures, temperature and fluid properties. For liquid flow by weight or volume, it calculates Cv max, normal and min. For gas flow by weight or volume, it also provides Cv calculations and notes whether flow is subcritical or critical based on the pressure difference. Conversions between pressure and temperature units are also included.
