Sizing Control Valves

Sizing the system control valves to provide desirable operating parameters rank among the most important factors in
determining the stability and longevity of a process system. This handbook addresses the key points in that process. Red
Valve is committed to providing the utmost in quality equipment to achieve that goal.

Red Valve and its staff of experienced valve specialists are also dedicated to taking the extra step to ensure the selection
of the control valves meets the needs of the application. Our specialists have experience with control valves in systems
ranging from wastewater, mining, chemical, and bulk handling applications. We have computerized the selection process to
evaluate multiple system parameters and valve configurations to provide you with an optimized solution for the application.
Red Valve evaluates the flow conditions and potential for cavitation and will recommend a pinch valve and actuator. Our
experience and computer systems are here to support your projects.

The first step in engaging Red Valve’s services is to contact us. We will request the data needed to complete the Control
Valve Data Sheet, the next to last page in the brochure, and a simple sketch or description of the system layout. We will
evaluate the conditions and discuss the results, then recommend solutions for you to review.

We are committed to achieving your satisfaction.

Flow Data
Data Required for Sizing: Leakage
• Pipe diameter Leakage references the allowable quantity of fluid passing
• Flow Q Maximum in gallons per minute GPM through a valve when fully closed. This leakage rate is defined
• Flow Q Minimum in gallons per minute GPM by ANSI standard B16.104.
• Flow Q Normal in gallons per minute GPM

non-compressible fluids and liquids is as follows:
Differential Pressure Drop
A point of confusion regarding control valve sizing is the difference
Cv = Q G between the assigned ∆P and the actual ∆P.
ΔP
Where: Q = Flow rate in GPM
Assigned ∆P is actually the pressure drop added to the system
G = Specific Gravity resistance during design to assure that sufficient ∆P is avail-
able to permit the control valve to perform its function. This is

tasks such as estimating pump size.
P2 = Outlet pressure in PSIG

Control Valve Sizing

The illustration below is the mathematical calculation used in • Solve for ∆P Allowable:
correctly sizing a Control Valve. All of the information neces- ∆P Allowable = FL2 x (P1+14.7 - rc x PV)
sary to calculate valve size is listed on the following pages. ∆P Allowable = Maximum allowable pressure drop
Designers can also submit a sizing request using the Control FL = Pressure Recovery Factor
Valve Order Entry data sheet form on page 27 or online at (see CV table for FL factor)
www.redvalve.com. P1 = Inlet Pressure PSIG
14.7 = Conversion to PSIA
Sizing of Control Pinch Valves is now made easier by using
rc = Critical Pressure Ratio (.94 constant)
Red Valve Company’s Kwiksize Control Valve Sizing Software.
PV = Vapor Pressure at Flow Temperature
(see Vapor Pressure table)
Example: 
Line Size: 3" diameter 125# ANSI flanged ∆P Allowable = .702 x (25 + 14.7 - .94 x 1.69)
Flow: 137 gallons per minute GPM max ∆P Allowable = 18.7 PSI

∆P: 12 PSI max
• Solve for Reynold’s Number:
7.5 PSI min Q
G: 1.2 Specific Gravity Re = 3160 x
Viscosity: 50 SSU d x k
Process media is lime slurry, throttling service. Re = Reynold’s Number
Q = Flow GPM
d = Internal Diameter Square Inches
• Solve for CVMAX: CVMAX = QMAX G
P k = Viscosity Centistokes
(see Viscosity Conversion table)

CVMAX = 137 1.2
7.5 Re = 3160 x 137
(3 x 7.4)
CVMAX = 54.8
Re = 19501

Type A: Leakage flow and pressure data accurate to +/- 10% of reading; pressure applied to valve inlet with outlet open to
atmosphere or connected to low head loss measuring device; full normal closing thrust from actuator

Type B: Leakage flow and pressure data accurate to +/- 10% of reading after letting leakage flow stabilize; pressure applied to
valve inlet after filling entire body cavity and connected plumbing and stroking valve plug closed; net actuator thrust to be
specified max;

Type C: Pressure applied to inlet with outlet connected to suitable measuring device; actuator adjusted to operating conditions
specified with full normal closing thrust; allow sufficient time for leakage flow to stabilize
