2) If the pressure downstream of the nozzle is less than, or equal to, the critical flow pressure, Pcf, then critical flow w
subcritical flow will occur.
3) If a calculated compressibility factor is not available, a Z value of 1.0 should be used.
4) For saturated steam at any pressure, KSH = 1.0
5) For Rupture Disc, Coefficient of Discharge Kd = 0.62
