Where:
| Units | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ \Delta P }\) = valve pressure differential | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa}\) |
| \(\large{ C_v }\) = valve flow coefficient (US units) | \(\large{ dimensionless }\) | |
| \(\large{ K_v }\) = valve flow coefficient (SI units) | \(\large{ dimensionless }\) | |
| \(\large{ Q }\) = 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) | \(\large{ dimensionless }\) | |
