Industrial valves; Control valves
A valve for controlling the flow of a liquid or air; the fluid leaves at right angles to the direction in which it enters the valve.
critical flow
Industrial valves; Control valves
This condition exists when at a fixed upstream pressure the flow cannot be further increased by lowering the downstream pressure. This condition can occur in gas, steam, or liquid ...
inherent flow characteristic
Industrial valves; Control valves
It is the relationship between valve capacity and valve travel and is usually expressed graphically. It is derived from testing a valve with water as the fluid and with a constant ...
reduced trim
Industrial valves; Control valves
Is an undersized orifice. Reduced or restricted capacity trim is used for several reasons. (1) It adapts a valve large enough to handle increased future flow requirement with trim ...
cavitation
Industrial valves; Control valves
Occurs only in liquid service. In its simplest terms cavitation is the two-stage process of vaporization and condensation of a liquid. Vaporization is simply the boiling of a ...
