flow through partially open gate valve
flow through partially open gate valve
(OP)
Is there a good table or equation to let me estimate the amount of flow passing under a "cracked" open gate valve? This is located between two pressure zones with about 100' head differential. I could simply use an orifice equation, but wonder about the best Cv and the area. (and I know this is the wrong way to use a gate valve)
THANKS
