Valve type

The characteristic for a valve type is defined in the form. The characteristic is specified as an opening degree 0 – 90° from fully closed and corresponding capacity value K_v  (tonnes/h)/bar^½). I.e. 0° indicates a fully closed valve and 90° a fully open valve. The characteristic can be specified using up to 10 points. When a valve type is linked to a valve, you specify the current opening degree for the valve; and the pressure drop across the valve is then calculated on the basis of the given characteristic.

You can provide further details for descriptive information on the valve type, e.g. make and model type.
