Example of how to use the capacities chart Where: - Example load = 20 kg/h - Upstream gauge pressure 5 bar = 6 bar abs. Method: - Draw a horizontal line from 6 bar abs. - Draw a horizontal line from 20 kg/h

- Drop a vertical line from the 6 bar x critical pressure crossing point until it crosses 20 kg/h horizontal. - The Kv for valve selection is given at this crossing point as Kv 0.3 - From the P-band table below a ¾" valve has 4 °C P-band.
