Key Features Liquid Pressure Drop Calculator
- The tool allows users to input specific data related to their piping system and field instrumentation, including pipe dimensions, flow rates, and the type of fittings, valves, or instruments used.
- It performs intermediate calculations and provides final results, displaying the total pressure drop in the system.
- Includes pre configured Cv (flow coefficient) tables for various isolation valves from recognized manufacturers, facilitating accurate pressure drop calculations.
- Cv values are essential for determining the flow rate through a valve at a specific pressure drop, helping in valve and field instrument selection and system design.
- The Excel tool is designed with a straightforward interface, making it accessible even for those with minimal experience in pressure drop calculations and field instrumentation.
- While the tool currently has an empty “Instructions” sheet, users can intuitively navigate and input their data to get quick and reliable results.
