Kv flow coefficient and valve characteristics.

Instrumentation and control

Flow through valve from Kv

Q = Kv√(Δp/SG)→
Instrumentation and control

Required valve Kv

Kv = Q√(SG/Δp)→
Instrumentation and control

Linear valve characteristic

Q = Qmax x/100→
Instrumentation and control

Equal-percentage valve characteristic

Q = Qmin R^(x/100)→
Instrumentation and control

Valve position from signal

L = Lmin + (S−Smin)/(Smax−Smin)(Lmax−Lmin)→
Instrumentation and control

Signal from valve position

S = Smin + (L−Lmin)/(Lmax−Lmin)(Smax−Smin)→
