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 output to be:
PRV NO.1 & 2 OUTLET = 683 KPA (99 PSIG) @ 33 L/S (520 USGPM)
= 1034 KPA (150 PSIG) @ 0.63 L/S (10 USGPM)
I'm having difficulty determining or verifying the calculation that will prove that the flow @ 520 USGPM will yield a pressure drop to 99 PSIG, which equals 10 USGPM @ 150 PSIG.
Something just seems odd and I've tried a number of different formula's, obviously not the correct one. I'm hoping to understand what calculation was done, and conduct it again for a flow of 400 USGPM.
The valve is a FORD 4" PRV.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
