Head loss coefficient applicable to partially open angle valve

Default

Input data

Diameter

Opening fraction (%)

Output data

k applicable to h = k.U²/2g

kQ applicable to h = kQ.Q²

Description

Find the head loss coefficients for partially angle valves.

Given the diameter and the opening relation of an angle valve, calculates the head loss coefficients, for the expressions:

For k applicable to: $h_f = \frac{k U^2}{2g}$
For $k_Q$ applicable to: $ℎ_f = k_Q\cdot Q^2$
