| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( \Delta P \) = valve pressure differential | \(lbf \;/\; in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( C_v \) = valve flow coefficient | \( dimensionless \) | \( dimensionless \) |
| \( K_v \) = valve flow coefficient | \( dimensionless \) | \( dimensionless \) |
| \( Q \) = valve flow rate | \(ft^3 \;/\; sec\) | \(m^3 \;/\; s\) |
| \( SG \) = specific gravity of liquid (water at 60°F = 1.0000) | \(dimensionless \) | \( dimensionless \) |
