Diaphragm valve flow characteristic selection
Pneumatic Diaphragm Valve flow characteristic refers to the
relationship between the relative flow of the medium flows through the
valve and displacement (valve relative opening degree). the ideal flow
characteristics are mainly straight lines, equal percentage (logarithm),
parabola, and quick open, characteristic curves and spool shape. The
ideal flow characteristics that commonly used are only straight line,
equal percentage (logarithm), quick open three kinds. Parabolic flow
characteristic is between the equal percentage and straight lines,
generally can take the equal percentage features to replace, while the
quick opening feature is mainly used for two-conditioning and process
control, and therefore the choice of pneumatic diaphragm valves feature
is actually straight lines and equal percentage flow characteristics
selection.
Rubber lined diaphragm valve, fluorine lined diaphragm Valve flow
characteristic selection can be calculated theoretically, but the
methods and equations used are very complex. At present, mainly using
experience criteria, specifically from the following aspects to
consider:
