Pressure loss diagram Pressure loss diagram with the valve open at 20 ° C. The values indicated are applicable to spring loaded valves with horizontal flow. With vertical flow, insignificant deviations occur only within the range of partial opening. The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20 ° C. To determine the pressure drop for other fluids the equivalent water volume flowrate must be calculated and used in the graph.









Where:

V w = Equivalent water volume flow in l/s or m ³ /h = Density of fluid kg/m ³ V = Volume of fluid l/s or m ³ /h V w = 1000 x V







Pressure loss information for steam, compressed air and gases is available from Spirax Sarco.

Safety information, installation and maintenance For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-S19-03-EN-ISS1) supplied with the product. Note: The SDCV split disc check valve range is not suitable for heavy pulsating flows (compressors) or vertical down flows. Flanges, bolts (or studs), nuts and joint gaskets are to be provided by the installer.
