    Experiment 1 - Control Valve

    Uploaded by

    Robert Gilmore
    This lab manual provides instructions for an experiment to characterize the performance of three different control valves: a linear valve, an equal percentage valve, and a quick opening valve. Students will collect flow rate, valve opening, and pressure drop data at various controller output settings using both a small and large pump. They will use the data collected to calculate valve flow coefficients and pressure drop ratios to analyze and compare the valve characteristics.

    through the control valve FCVL and the pipeline PLL using the smaller pump PS.

    1. What is control valve Cv?
    2. What is control valve rangebility?
    3. How is the control valve characteristics normally illustrated graphically?
    4. What is the effect of (DPv)/(DPs) on the inherent control valve characteristics?
    5. Compare the characteristic curves of FCVL, FCVE and FCVQ obtained in Experiment
    1 with those in Experiment 2. Is the deviation from the inherent characteristics more
    serious in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1? Please comment on the DPv and DPs
    in each case.
    6. Why is it important to know the control valve characteristics? Which is important
    finally in an operating control loop, the installed or inherent valve characteristic?
