Flow coefficient, or Cv, is a flow capacity index and is a simple way of identifying the flow capacity of a valve and is the factor most commonly used to express the size of the choke. 4, record 1, English, - capacity%20index
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
To determine the capacity index (Cv) needed for your application, use the following formula: CV = gallons per minute divided by the square root of the pressure drop across the valve when the valve is fully open. 6, record 1, English, - capacity%20index

Région Lorraine. L'hydraulicité avoisine les normales saisonnières sur l'ensemble des cours d'eau. Les débits qui, en début de mois, étaient très bas, ont réagi rapidement aux pluies; on enregistre les plus forts débits au cours de la dernière décade du mois.
