Description

Finds the head loss coefficients for fully open butterfly valves.

Given the diameter and the relation maximum thickness/diameter of a fully open butterfly valve, calculates the k values corresponding to two different types of valves, for the expressions hf = k.U²/2g and ℎf = kQ.Q².

  • 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
