How to use the chart The curved lines labelled 2, 3, 4, 5 etc., represent upstream pressures. Downstream pressures are read along the vertical line on the left hand side of the chart. How to use the chart is best described by an example:- Required, a pressure reducing valve to pass 350 kg/h reducing from 8 to 6 bar. From the downstream pressure of 6 bar on the left hand side of the chart extend out horizontally until the line meets the curved 8 bar upstream line. At this point read vertically downwards where it will be seen that DN25 BRV71 or BRV73 will be required.
