I'm looking for some one to help with flow testing to determine Cv values. Valves range in size from 1/2" to 12" inlet & outlet. Have varrious connection types, socket weld, butt weld, threaded, flanged. I would prefer someone in the Chicago area. Thanks in advance.

The hydraulic laboratories of the UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN might be a little closer for this inquirer, if they could do this work (see [If too "big" for them, Utah State University could probably handle.]
I second the prior posts, Alden is capable of flow testing a 12" valve, so is Utah Water Research Lab. I have worked with both of those places and they know what they are doing. If the valves are Fisher designs, contact a Fisher representative and see if you can get them tested at the new Fisher flow lab, they can do up to 36" valves now.
