GPM from CV Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the GPM from CV is:

\[ GPM = CV \times \sqrt{P} \]

where \( GPM \) is the gallons per minute, \( CV \) is the valve flow coefficient, and \( P \) is the pressure differential.

What is GPM from CV?

The GPM (gallons per minute) from CV is a measure used to determine the flow rate of a fluid through a valve. It is calculated by multiplying the valve flow coefficient (CV) by the square root of the pressure differential (P). This calculation helps in understanding the efficiency and capacity of the valve in controlling fluid flow.

Example Calculation

Let's assume we have the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the square root of the pressure differential:

\[ \sqrt{4} = 2 \]

Step 2: Multiply the valve flow coefficient by the square root of the pressure differential:

\[ GPM = 10 \times 2 = 20 \text{ gallons per minute} \]

Therefore, the GPM from CV is \( GPM = 20 \) gallons per minute.
