CHECKS ON VALVE CVs.
Usually, the following guidelines apply to calculated and installed CVs:
-The calculated min. CV should be > 15% of installed.
-The calculated max. CV should be < 95% of installed,
-The calculated normal CV should be approx. 70% of installed.
-It may need to do several runs to check the calculated max., min., and normal CV values.
-25% margin above the Calculated Cv should considered for selecting Probable Cv from a table of Standard Globe Valve Cvs (So
Process Control Ltd. Catalogue for Single Seated Classic '10' Equal% Valves)
