DESCRIPTION OF VARIABLE
CALCULATED IN COLUMN "O"
Valve Cv/Valve size squared (Turbulent flow)

0.92 The value of "Cv_over_d_Sq_T" is taken from the Valve Sizing tab (S, T, U, V 628)
where Kv has been converted to Cv if the worksheet has been
0.88 configured for Kv and valve size in mm has been converted
to inch if the worksheet has been configured for mm.

Valve Cv/Valve size squared (NonTurbulent flow)
0.72
The value of "Cv_over_d_Sq_NT" is calculated from the Non-turb flow coef. on
0.58 Line 26 of the Valve Sizing tab converted to Cv if the worksheet has been configure
for Kv and Valve size in D12 of the Valve Sizing tab is converted to inch
0.67 if the worksheet has been configured for valve size in mm.
