Nomograph Liquid Sizing i LIQUID SIZING NOMOGRAPH Fold out for instructions and nomegraphInstructions Use this nomograph to determine liquid capacity ofall Fisher valve bodies. It's based on the flow of water at 60°F, When assembling data, all units must correspond to those shown on the nomograph, A. To Find Valve Size 1. If the specific gravity of the liquid is 1.0, omit this step. For a specific gravity other than 1.0, cortect the flow rate as follows: 2. Lay a straight edge on the flow rate on Q scale and the liquid specific gravity on G scale. Mark intersection with index tine ', Pivot the straight edge at this point of intersection with index line to 2 specific gravity of 1.0 on G scale. Read the corrected flow rate on Q scale. 2. Lay a straight edge on the pressure drop on AP scale ‘and the corrected flow rate on Q scale, Read required valve sizing coefficient on C, scale. 3. Go the the liquid sizing coefficient table for desired valve body type and valve plug style in Section 1 of this Catalog. Locate the coefficient equal to or higher than the equited coefficient to obtain the valve body size and the ercent of total travel required to pass the flow. B. To Determine Flow Rate 1.

Lay a straight edge on the Mow rate (corrected, if necessary) on Q scale and the C, value on C, scale. Read the pressure drop on AP scale. Note Viscous, flashing, and cavitating liquids must be given special consideration in valve sizing procedures. We have included on pages 2-23 ‘thru 2-28 a viscosity correction nomograph with instructions. To handle flashing and cavitation conditions, we have included a valve recovery Coefficient. Ky, at maximum travel in each liquid: Sizing coefficient table in Section 1 of this catalog. K,, iS used to establish the maximum allowable pressure drop that is effective in producing flow. Often the pressure drop has to be limited to avoid cavitation or to obtain an accurate prediction of flow with flashing liquids, See page 2-9 for information and procedures for handling flashing and cavitating liquids.

When assembling data, all units must cor ‘pond to'those shown on the nomograph. For the Design "U" ‘Voo-Ball® valves (both 150 Ib. and 300 Ib.) and the Design V25 Hi-Ball® valves, use the liquid flow rate Q scale for single ported valves. For butterfly valves, use the liquid flow rate Q scale for double ported valves. Noto the use of the terms Cy, and C, in the following procedures. It was necessary to distinguish between a celculated coefficient (Cj, and 2 required coefficient (C,,), but reference back to any other part of this catalog will simply be to the liquid sizing coefficient, C,. A. To Find Valve Sizo Yaleulate the sizing coeticiant,C,q, using the formula: a c VERS where Q is flow rate in gpm, AP is pressure drop in psi, and G is liquid specific gravity.
