k applicable to h = kU²/2g

kQ applicable to h = kQ.Q²

Description

Find the head loss coefficients for partially globe valves.

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

  • For k applicable to:
    hf=kU22g hf = \frac{k \cdot U^2}{2\cdot g}
  • For kQk_Q applicable to:
    hf=kQQ2 ℎf = k_Q\cdot Q^2
