SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on conducting simple flow and pressure drop tests on valves. A participant inquired about established methods and resources for these tests. A relevant link to a published article on the subject was provided, which details methodologies for evaluating valve performance. The article can be accessed at http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0104-66322003000400012.
