Given this fact, it may safe choose a valve sized much larger than what is needed, just
avoid the probability of not having enough flow capacity. For instance, consider the
control valve sizing problem, where a characterized ball valve controles the flow rate
of water out of si=urge tank to mantain a constant water level 25 feet higher than the
height of the valve.

Suppose the process engineer designing this system spesifics a maximum flow rate
for this valve of 40 GPM. What should the maximum Cv rating be for this valve? To
begin, we must know the expected pressure drop across he valve. The 25 foot water
column height, we must know the means to calculate P 1 by usng the formula for
calculating hydrostatic pressure (the pressure generated by a vertical column of liquid
under the influence of gravity):

SOLUTION (perhitungan manual):

There is no need to calculate P2, since the P&ID reveals the downstream side of valve
to vented to atmosphere, and thus is guaranteed to 0 PSI gauge pressue. This gives
us a pressure drop 10.8 PSI across the control valve, with am expected maximum flow
rate of 470 GPM. Manipulating our flow capacity equation to solve for Cv:
𝑃1 − 𝑃2
𝑄 = 𝐶𝑣 √
𝐺𝑓
𝑄
𝐶𝑣 =
𝑃1 − 𝑃2
√ 𝐺𝑓
470 𝐺𝑃𝑀
𝐶𝑣 =
√10.8 𝑃𝑆𝐼

𝐶𝑣 = 143
Dari hasil tersebut dapat kita ketahui bahwa dibutuhkan control valve dengan nilai
𝑪𝒗 = 𝟏𝟒𝟑 untuk memenuhi laju aliran tertentu (maksimal).

Perhitungan dengan Software INSTRUCALC:

Dengan menggunakan software juga didapatkan nilai 𝑪𝒗 = 𝟏𝟒𝟑 dengan memasukkan
paramater yang telah diketahui seperti pada gambar di bawah ini:

Maximum Flow Rate

Pressure Drop (𝑃1 − 𝑃2 )

Spesific Gravity (𝐺𝑓 )

nilai 𝑪𝒗 = 𝟏𝟒𝟑

Kesimpulan:
Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa perhitungan nilai 𝐶𝑣 secara manual dan dengan
software instrucalc didapatkan hasil yang sama yaitu dengan nilai 𝑪𝒗 = 𝟏𝟒𝟑.
