Cv Values for PDC Swing Thru Butterfly Valves

By definition, Cv is the flow coefficient of a control device or flow restriction. Cv is defined as the number of US gallons of 60°F water per minute which will flow through the given restriction with a one pound per square inch pressure drop.

Cv Values

(Flow in GPM of 60°F water at 1 psi pressure drop Specific Gravity=1)
