Calculate pressure drop for other fluids than water
Calculate pressure drop for other fluids than water
(OP)
This is my first pose here so I hope I have come to the right place.
We are manufacturers of a spillage free quick connect coupling, see www.todo.se
The coupling system consists of a male half and a female half.
We have done pressure drop tests over the coupling when connected with water 70° F.
The curve looks like a second degree curve. The Cv factor
also varies for instance:
Cv 385 at 475 usgpm
Cv 415 at 1225 usgpm
Now, are there any formulas, online calculators or programs to use if we would like to recalculate it for other fluids.
I suspect we need the density and viscousity for the other fluid.
Thanks
