outlet from a 3/4" valve to a ½" outlet. They are common components with other Victaulic valve families.

Important Notes
Balancing valves should be sized in accordance with the GPM/LPM flows (and not in relation to pipeline size). Sizing
balancing valves based on the minimum or maximum flow rates is not recommended. Valves should be sized using
the nominal flow rate only. The Minimum Flow is calculated from the minimum open setting of the valve and a
minimum pressure drop 1 Ft. WG (= 3 kPa). The Nominal Flow is calculated from the maximum open setting of the
valve and the minimum recommended pressure drop, 2 Ft. WG (= 6 kPa). The Maximum Flow is calculated from the
maximum open setting of the valve and the maximum pressure drop, 20 Ft. WG (= 60 kPa). A computer program,
TA-Select, is available for calculation of valve handwheel pre-set position and other applications.
NOTE
• For information regarding Allen Wrench sizes see section 3.0 Material Specifications.
Measuring Accuracy
The hand wheel zero position is calibrated and must not be changed. Valves have an accuracy of flow measurement
of 2% to 3% when used within their recommended flow range and installed in accordance with the figure below.
NOTE
• For the most accurate results, a Series 734 TA SCOPE or Series 73M CMI should be used. However, any differential pressure meter may be used.

5.4 PERFORMANCE
Correction Factors
For liquids other than water, the flow values from the balancing wheel can be adjusted as follows:
Divide the flow rate (as indicated by the balancing wheel) by the square root of the specific gravity.
qCalculated
Actual Flow =
SG
This applies to liquids having, on the whole, the same viscosity as water, i.e. most water/glycol mixtures and water/
brine solutions at room temperature. At low temperatures, the viscosity increases and laminar flow may occur in
certain valves. The risk increases with small valves, low settings and low differential pressures.
A computer program, HySelect, is available for calculation of pre-setting values and other applications. When the
flow setting is verified or changed to the final setting, the memory stop should be set. Also, the TA Scope can
automatically make this conversion by programming the properties of the fluid being used. Contact Victaulic for
further information.
Correction Factors
When Δp and the design flow rate are known, use the formula shown to calculate the CV value or use the graphs on
page 17 – 19. The Tour & Andersson balancing wheel can also be used.
A computer program, HySelect, is available from Victaulic for calculation of pre-setting values and other applications.
When measuring pressure drop across the Series 788 or 789 valves installed in the vertical position, the measured value
should be adjusted by the static head created by the distance between the PT ports.

TA Series 734 Scope
The TA Series 734 SCOPE is a wireless, handheld device for the swift and accurate measurement of differential
pressure, flow, temperature and power.
An independent sensor communicates with the TA SCOPE to deliver data quickly, thereby enabling contractors to
balance a system, troubleshoot hydronic problems and log system performance.
The TA Series 734 SCOPE Premium is a more robust case compared to the TA Series 734 SCOPE. See page 15 of
this publication for additional details on the TA SCOPE and TA SCOPE Premium.
Differential pressure
• TA SCOPE: 0-29 psi/0-200 kPa
• TA SCOPE (High Pressure): 0-145 psi/0-1000 kPa
Provides connection between a building’s heating/cooling system and building monitoring system (BMS).
• Continuously measures the flow and differential pressure through and across the IMI TA balancing valves.
• Measurement probes provided for direct connection to the measurement points on all TA Series 786H, 787H,
788, and 789 balancing valves.
