The k v factor or value as it is also called is defined in VDI/VDE Richtlinien No. 2173. [5] A simplified version of the definition is: The k v factor of a valve indicates "The water flow in m 3 /h, at a pressure drop across the valve of 1 kgf/cm 2 when the valve is completely open.
The "CV4000" numbers identify special-quality valves though SQ valves CV numbered before that rule came in retain their original CV number: CV4007 = E91AA – SQ version of 6AL5; CV4010 = E95F – SQ version of 6AK5 or EF95; CV4014 = M8083; The "M8" in the part number denotes that it was developed by the military:
Values based on approximations (particularly C P − C V = nR) are in many cases not sufficiently accurate for practical engineering calculations, such as flow rates through pipes and valves at moderate to high pressures. An experimental value should be used rather than one based on this approximation, where possible.
That means that the valve will remain open until the process pressure decreases to 20% below the set point of the spring-loaded relief valve. Advantages: Opens 100% when set point is reached. Easy to install and maintain. High flow capacity or Cv value in gas service. Disadvantages: Has a blow down factor inherent to the design of the valve.
In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.
A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.

Choke valve, Butterfly valve used to limit air intake in internal combustion engine. (Not to be confused with choke valves used in industrial flow control, above.) Clapper valve: a type of check valve used in the Siamese fire appliance to allow only one hose to be connected instead of two (the clapper valve blocks the other side from leaking out)
