    Pressure drop calculation for Ford 4" PRV valve at different flow rates

    Apologies, I am talking about a Ford Pressure Regulating Valve as seen here. http://www.fordregulatorvalve.com/FRPV_33a.html They come factory set at 10 USGPM based on the specified PSI value you want, in this case 150 psig. What I am finding difficult to calculate is that in our system we...

    Pressure drop calculation for Ford 4" PRV valve at different flow rates

    Unfortunately I have little information from FORD, nor have they been able to provide this detail, my understanding is that they do not necessarily have a chart identifying orifice sizes at given flow rates. The orifice size will fluctuate as the flows change. The PRV is spring loaded and...

    Pressure drop calculation for Ford 4" PRV valve at different flow rates

    I'm in need of some assistance in calculating some flow vs pressure specifications, in order to make some changes to the system. I have a PRV valve that has a preset setting of: PRV NO.1 & 2 SET PRESSURE = 1034 KPA (150 PSI) @ 0.63 L/S (10 USGPM) Meanwhile the design criteria states the...
