Alternative uses as a pressure sequence valve by changing the internal spring to an appropriate cracking point value. The fullported valve seat is uniquely designed allowing the ball to seat leaktight without getting wedge into the valve seat. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate mathematically the flow coefficient c v or flowcapacity rating of valve can be expressed as. In some cases with 2 way valves a fixed gpm requirement may suggest a smaller valve than the line size. The cv1 was designed with a high flow rate in mind with the orifice being equal to 14 i. This feature protects measuring or regulating equipment from the process media. The full closure curve of a ball valve is then the above graph. In the chart below, we show the approximate cv value of butterfly valves ranging from 2 to 24 and at various disc angles. For example a valve with a cv of 10 will flow 10 gpm with a 1 psi pressure drop.
