Valve Pressure Differential for Liquid Formulas
\(\large{ \Delta P = SG \left( \frac{Q}{C_v} \right) }\) (English units) \(\large{ \Delta P = SG \left( \frac{Q}{K_v} \right) }\) (Metric units)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ \Delta P }\) = valve pressure differential	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ C_v }\) = valve flow coefficient	\(\large{ dimensionless }\)
\(\large{ K_v }\) = valve flow coefficient	\(\large{ dimensionless }\)
\(\large{ Q }\) = valve flow rate	\(\large{\frac{ft^3}{sec}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m^3}{s}}\)
\(\large{ SG }\) = specific gravity of liquid (water at 60°F = 1.0000)	\(\large{ dimensionless }\)
