ρ 2.3 Flow coefficient Cv factor The United States Standard ANSI/(NFPA)T3.21.3: 1990: Pneumatic fluid power.Flow rating test procedure and reporting method for fixed orifice components Defines the Cv factor of flow coefficient by the following formula which is based on the test conducted by the test circuit analogous to ISO 6358. Q Cv = ........... ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・(7) ΔP (P2 + Pa) 114.5 ...... T1 ΔP : Pressure drop between the static pressure tapping ports [bar] P1 : Pressure of the upstream tapping port [bar gauge] P2 : Pressure of the downstream tapping port [bar gauge]: P2 = P1 . ΔP Q : Flow rate [dm3/s standard condition] Pa : Atmospheric pressure [bar absolute] T1 : Upstream absolute temperature [K] Test conditions are < P1 + Pa = 6.5 ±0.2 bar absolute, T1 = 297 ±5 K, 0.07 bar . ΔP . 0.14 bar. This is the same concept as effective area A which ISO 6358 stipulates as being applicable only when the pressure drop is smaller than the upstream pressure and the compression of air does not become a problem. 3.
