Valve Sizing Calculations

Improper valve sizing can be both expensive and inconvenient. A valve that is too small will not pass the required flow, and the process will be starved. An oversized valve will be more expensive, and it may lead to instability and other problems. The days of selecting a valve based upon the size of the pipeline are gone. Selecting the correct valve size for a given application requires a knowledge of process conditions that the valve will actually see in service. The technique for using this information to size the valve is based upon a combination of theory and experimentation.
