How To Convert Kvs-Value For Water To Kvs For Gas?

Click For Summary
To convert Kvs-value for water to Kvs for gas, understanding the flow coefficients for both fluids is essential. The Kvs value is a metric flow coefficient that indicates the flow capacity of a valve, and while the value itself remains constant, the application differs between liquids and gases. The conversion requires specific formulas that account for the differences in fluid properties. Resources like Engineering Toolbox and Wikipedia provide useful information on flow coefficients. Proper calculation is key to ensuring accurate conversions for effective instrument performance.

Hello,
for an instrument I have given the Kvs-Value for water and I want to convert it to gas. Can someone help or explain the calculation?
Of course I have the formulas for liquid and for gas KVs-calculation.
How do I convert it?
Thanks for the help

I have no help only a question: what's Kvs value? I have heard the term but don't know what it evaluates
