Steam Sizing Chart

Determining the Value Cv

Cv calculation is an interactive process requiring knowledge of valve
dynamics, piping geometry factors, and outlet velocities. In practice, This chart is for example only. A complete

applications.

How To Use the Chart

Example 1. To find Cv value for critical flow application.

Steam Demand 1500 lb/hr

Upstream Pressure 55 psi guage
70 psi absolute
Refer to Selection Chart Opposite.
1) Draw 1500 lb/hr flow line (A-B)
2) Draw a horizontal line from 70 psi absolute to critical pressure drop
line (C-D). At this intersection drop a vertical line.
3) At the crossing point of these two lines, read off the Cv value

required, i.e. Cv 13
4) Select valve size required from the appropriate valve type technical
information sheet.

Example 2. To find Cv value for non critical flow application.

Steam Demand 500 lb/hr

Globe Control

Upstream Pressure 85 psi guage

100 psi absolute
Valves

Downstream Pressure 65 psi quage

85 psi absolute
1) Draw 500 lb/hr flow line.
2) Draw a horizontal line from 100 psi absolute
At the intersection with 20 psi pressure drop, draw a vertical line.
3) At the crossing point with the 500 lb/hr horizontal line read off the
Cv value required, i.e. Cv 3.8
4) Select valve size required from the appropriate valve type techni-
cal information sheet.
How to Use Formula
Proceed by calculating the required Cv from given flow data, having
prior determined whether the flow is critical or sub-critical. The following
equations have been adapted from the ISA S75.01 standard to allow for
practical everyday use without significant sacrifice in accuracy.

 SPIRA-TROL
1/2" to 4" ANSI Two-port KEA, KFA and KLA Control Valves
Description
SPIRA-TROL is a range of two-port single seat globe valves with cage retained
seats conforming to ASME/ANSI standards. These valves are available in three
body materials in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 4". When used in conjunction with
a pneumatic or electric linear actuator they provide characterised modulating or
on/off control.

SPIRA-TROL valve characteristic - options:

Equal percentage (E) - Suitable for most modulating process control
KEA
applications providing good control at all flowrates.
KFA Fast opening (F) - For on/off applications only.
Linear (L) - Primarily for liquid flow control where the differential
KLA
pressure across the valve is constant.
Important note: Throughout this document, reference has been made to the
standard KEA control valve. With the exception of trim type, the KEA, KFA and
KLA control valves are identical. Technical data

 SP200
Electropneumatic Smart Positioner
Description
The SP200 smart valve positioner is loop powered from a 4-20 mA
input signal to provide accurate adaptive positional control of pneu-
matic linear actuated valves.
Precise control is maintained through valve position feedback that
���
automatically varies the pneumatic output pressure to overcome the
effects of stem friction and flow forces to maintain desired valve posi-
tion. Indication of valve position is provided through a continuous dig-
ital display of % travel. Valve position feedback is retrieved by means �����
of a non contact technology based on Hall effect. Therefore, high reso-
lution, high reliability and vibration insensitivity are guaranteed.
The SP200 includes many smart functions that can be fully pro- SP200 with front cover closed
grammed through menu driven software using an integral keypad and
LCD alphanumeric data. Valve commissioning is simplified through an
autostroke routine and LCD data of programming status, software
travel switch status, mA input signal and valve diagnostics data.
Moreover, the absence of mechanical linkages between valve stem and

the time required. The SP200 is supplied with a NAMUR standard
mounting kit for attachment to yoke or pillar mounted actuators.

Selection
Pockets are sized to suit the probe tip length 'D', and are
specified as 'pocket to suit a __ inch probe'. B
Notes:
- The pocket dimension 'F' is 1" shorter than the probe
length 'D', which appears to be incorrect. The reason is that the
threaded body of the pocket acts as a stand-off, and therefore Enclosure
allows adequate clearance between the probe tip and the end
of the pocket.
- Pockets to suit 9" and 29" probes are for non-flow
applications only.

Pressure /temperature limits

The EL2270 and EL2271 temperature probes can be used in applications where the process temperature is within the following limits.
Where greater temperatures and pressures are present, the temperature probe should be fitted with a pocket.
For air and steam applications, flow velocities must be below 45 ms-1.
For liquids a recommended velocity is 5 ms-1 (28" and 8" non-flow applications only).

 EL2600 Pressure Transmitter and ‘U’ Syphons

Description
The EL2600 is a combined pressure sensor and transmitter which
is designed for general and industrial use.
It has a 2-wire 4-20 mA current loop, and a ¼" NPT process con-
nection. Two syphon tube and valve assemblies are available, one
with a maximum design pressure of 362 psig, and one with a maxi-
mum design pressure of 1160 psig.

Available ranges
Calibrated pressure range Overpressure P max (psig)

Trans. & Sensors

Note: High pressure 'spikes' above maximum overpressure, even

Controllers

of very short (milli-seconds) duration, could damage sensors. If

pressure peaks are likely to occur in your application, we recom-
mend the use of a pressure snubber. Alternatively, a higher range
pressure transmitter could be used, though this would mean some
loss of signal resolution.
Technical data
Process connection Sensor type 0 -23 psig to 0 -230 psig Piezorresistive
For fluids below 212°F the EL2600 may be mounted directly via its 0 -580 psig to 0 -5800 psig Thin film
¼" NPT connection. Supply voltage 10 Vdc to 30 Vdc
Above 212°F, a 'U' syphon and isolating valve must be fitted Accuracy ≤ 0.5%
between the EL2600 and the vessel or pipeline. Repeatability ≤ 0.05 of span
Hysteresis ≤ 0.1% of span
*No 'U' syphon is available for these ranges, therefore maximum Protection rating IP65
operating temperature is limited to 212°F

Safety information, installation and maintenance

This document does not contain sufficient information to install the
product safely. See the Installation and Maintenance Instructions
supplied with the product.
Safety note:
You attention is drawn to Safety Information Leaflet IM-GCM-10.
Installation note:
Low It is essential to use a 'U' syphon and valve for temperatures above
¼" NPT 100°C to avoid damage to the unit.
pressure E Maintenance note:
'U' syphon No specific maintenance is required, but we recommend inspection
and re-calibration of the transmitter once a year.
