Calculating the Kv and selecting a suitable valve
Using your maximum flowrate and smallest differential pressure
(P
1
– P
2
), calculate the required Kv from one of the above formulae.
Select a valve Kv that is 30% greater than the calculated Kv. The
optimum working range of the selected valve should ideally be
within the range of 10 to 70% of its Kv.

To maximise the control accuracy (especially for large load
variations) use the Kv values given at 20% offset. For safety valve
sizing use the maximum Kv values.
