SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a pipeline to achieve a 30% pressure drop across an 8" Vee notch ball valve, with an inlet pressure of 0.86 kg/cm². The user has explored options with Valtek valves that offer higher Cv but is constrained to using V-notch ball valves for specific process requirements related to paper grammage control. Suggestions include reducing the pipe size at the valve inlet and increasing the pipe length to create the desired pressure drop.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Vee notch ball valve operation
  • Knowledge of pressure drop calculations in fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with Cv (flow coefficient) and its significance
  • Basic principles of pipeline design and sizing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research pressure drop calculations for Vee notch ball valves
  • Explore advanced pipeline design techniques for pressure management
  • Investigate the specifications and performance of Valtek valves
  • Learn about fluid dynamics principles affecting pressure drop
USEFUL FOR

Instrumentation engineers, process control specialists, and anyone involved in the design and optimization of fluid control systems, particularly in applications requiring specific pressure drop management.

Hi everybody! I am facing a problem with a contorl valve (Vee notch ball valve). My process requirement is 10" size valve and i wanted to make it 8" size by creating the pressure drop across valve around 30%.

Does anyone help me to design a pipeline which can creat the pressure drop across the valve around 30% in the inlet pressure. My valve inlet pressure is 0.86 kg/cm2.

If we can creat the pressure drop across the valve at full open condition around 30% then i can reach my requirement with the 8" valve insted of using 10" valve.

Have you simply tried to find an 8" valve with a higher Cv?

Reply: Yaa i have tried with valtek valves which offers higher Cv for V-notch ball valve. My process requirement can accept only v-notch ball valve, as it is a typical control of Paper grammage.

Can we create a pressuredrop by redusing the pipe size at valve inlet and after wards again by increasing the pipe length? Basically i am from instrumentation engineer, i m not much familiar with mechanics.

Please find some solution. I am online full day using yahoo messanger. ramesh_king11 is my yahoo id. if you come online we can chat.
