LOW RISE BUILDING & REPAIR ROOF SERVICE

4 Wheel Electric Forklifts are an important piece of equipment for many industrial and commercial settings. They can help to move heavy objects quickly and easily, without the need for a lot of manual labor. There are a variety of different electric forklifts on the market, but one of the most popular types is the 4 wheel electric forklift. This type of forklift is especially useful for moving large objects around tight spaces. It can also navigate easily over bumps and uneven surfaces.

You buy equipment to get the job done.It should never be the reason you can’t.

Guaranteed Up-Time

No other service provider promises this. They make money when your equipment breaks. We keep your equipment working so you can too.

Major Cost Savings

Top-quality planned maintenance means repair, rental, and replacement costs go down. When your forklifts are efficient, so is your warehouse.

A Safer Warehouse

Unserviced forklifts can cause costly inventory damage, but staff are more likely to be injured using a forklift that’s not working properly too, causing a massive expense.

Butterfly Valve Flow Coefficient Kv & Pressure Drop Reference Data

All concentric lug butterfly valves and wafer butterfly valves are equipped with complete opening-angle Kv flow coefficient table and GPM-PSI pressure drop nomograph, supporting metric & imperial dual-system pipeline design calculation for global industrial projects. Flow coefficient Kv represents the fluid throughput capacity of the valve; higher Kv value brings lower pipeline pressure loss and less operation energy consumption.

Table Instruction: Small opening 10°~30° for precise flow throttling; medium opening 40°~70° for circulating water regulation; 90° full open delivers maximum Kv value with minimum flow resistance for main pipeline isolation.

2. GPM & PSI Pressure Drop Nomograph Chart

Figure 1: Flow Rate & Pressure Drop Nomograph for Concentric Butterfly Valve

The pressure drop curve chart adopts US imperial units, with horizontal axis for flow rate GPM and vertical axis for differential pressure (PSI / Feet water head). Diagonal slant lines correspond to matching Kv/Cv flow coefficients, helping North American and ANSI standard clients quickly calculate pipeline medium pressure loss.

  • Horizontal axis: Flow range 100 ~ 100,000 Gallons Per Minute, covers DN50~DN600 full size flow demand;
  • Vertical axis dual units: PSI pressure difference and Feet water head, convenient for direct conversion of pipeline design parameters;
  • Operation logic: Locate flow GPM vertically intersect Kv diagonal line, horizontally read pressure drop value to judge system energy loss.

3. Combined Application of Kv Table & Pressure Drop Curve

  • Step 1: Confirm working opening angle (throttling / full open), extract Kv value from the table;
  • Step 2: Convert metric Kv to US Cv via formula: Cv = Kv × 1.156;
  • Step 3: Match Cv diagonal line on the GPM-PSI nomograph, calculate actual pipeline differential pressure;
  • Step 4: If pressure drop exceeds design allowable value, upgrade to larger DN butterfly valve to raise overall Kv flow capacity.

Catalog Technical Tips

  • Kv test standard: Clean water 15°C, SG=1, comply with EN 12266-1 & ISO5211;
  • Avoid long-term stable operation under 10°~20° small opening, high pressure drop will cause cavitation and seal abrasion;
  • The pressure drop nomograph only applies to liquid medium; gas & steam flow calculation requires special gas coefficient formula;
  • We provide dual system flow data to meet metric European projects and imperial US standard engineering selection demands.
