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

AI Thread 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
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
