Function
Balancing valves are hydraulic devices used for accurately regulating
the flow rate of the thermal medium supplying the terminal emitters of
a system.
Correct balancing of the hydraulic circuits is essential to guarantee
system operation according to design specifications, high thermal
comfort and low energy consumption.
On 130 series threaded valves, the flow rate is measured with a
Venturi device, housed inside the valve body. This devices guarantees
balancing accuracy and is extremely practical to use during setting.

1. The terminals of the system operate correctly in heating, cooling

and dehumidification without wastage and provide better comfort.
2. The pumps run in their zone of highest efficiency, thus reducing the
risk of overheating and excessive wear.
3. Too high medium speeds, which can result in noise and abrasion,
are avoided.
4. The differential pressures acting on the regulation valves are limited
in value, thus preventing faulty operation.

Mass (kg)

Mass (kg)

The balancing valve is an hydraulic device that allows to regulate the

medium flow rate passing through.
Regulation is performed using a knob that governs the movement of
an obturator, to regulate the flow of the medium. The flow rate is
controlled according to the value of Dp that is measured with two
piezometric connections suitably positioned on the valve.

130 series threaded connections

Construction details
Venturi device for flow rate measurement
The 130 series valves of size from 1/2 to 2 are equipped with a flow
rate measuring device based on the Venturi principle. It is housed in
the valve body and is located upstream of the valves obturator, as
shown in the figure below.

Corrosion-proof materials
130 series balancing valves are made using dezincification resistant
alloy, a material that is highly resistant to corrosion and ensures the
best performance over time.

Stainless steel obturator

The valve obturator (1) is made of stainless steel. This material offers
high resistance to corrosion and deterioration due to friction caused
by the continuous flow of water.

4

This system provides the following benefits:

1. Provides stable measurement during flow rate regulation. Balancing
valves normally have their pressure test ports upstream and
downstream of the valve obturator. This means that when the valve
is closed to less than 50% of its full opening, the turbulence created
downstream of the obturator causes instability in the pressure signal,
causing significant measurement errors.
2. It is allowed to install the valves without keeping excessively long
straight sections of pipe downstream.
3. The Venturi system makes for a faster process of measurement and
manual circuit balancing. The flow rate is now only a function of the
Dp measured upstream and downstream of the fixed orifice of the
Venturi meter, upstream of the obturator, and no longer through the
entire valve. In practical terms, the only data required for measuring
the flow rate in the valves is now Dp and no longer Dp and the
position of the knob.
4. It makes the flow rate pass through the valve quieter. This is no small
advantage when we consider the fact that the threaded balancing
valve is frequently used in terminals such as fan coil units, installed
directly in dwellings.
Quick-fit pressure test ports
The valves are equipped with quick-fit pressure test ports.
Measurement is fast and precise with this type of port, using Caleffi
100 series syringe fittings. When removing the measuring syringe, the
port closes automatically, preventing water leakage.

Double internal O-Ring

The double O-Ring hydraulic seal (2) prevents the water from coming
into contact with the screw thread (3). This mechanism allows the
stem (4) to slide linearly in order to accurately adjust the setting of the
obturator (1). Keeping the sliding between the valve stem and body
hydraulically insulated keeps the flow rate regulation action and the
operation of the knob intact over time.

Insulation
For the threaded balancing valve there is also, available as an
accessory, hot pre-formed shell insulation, with Velcro closing. It
ensures perfect thermal insulation and tightness against water vapour
getting inside from the ambient when using chilled water.

Adjustment knob
The shape of the adjustment knob is the outcome of research into
ergonomics to ensure the greatest operator comfort and accurate
adjustment.
The range of adjustment with 5 complete turns permits great
accuracy when balancing hydraulic circuits.
The micrometric scale graduations are large and clear and make it
easy to refine the flow rate adjustment.
The knob is made of high-strength, corrosion-proof, reinforced
polymer.
Reference scale for adjustment
Each 360 clockwise turn of the
knob moves the red indicator by
one step, from position 0 (valve
closed) to position 6 (valve fully
open). In addition, the decimal
graduations of the black
micrometric scale enable further
refining of the adjustment.

USING AND SETTING THE BALANCING VALVE

The balancing valve is used considering the fluid dynamic
characteristics produced by the relationship between the head loss,
flow rate and adjustment position of the obturator control knob.
Pre-adjustment
Knowing the value of the head loss Dp that needs to be created by the
valve with a certain flow rate G, you can obtain the adjustment position
number for the knob (PRESETTING). To make this choice you can use
the characteristic diagram for each valve size. Or, analytically, you can
calculate the corresponding Kv by applying the formula:
G
Kv =
(1,1)
Dp
where: G = flow rate in m3/h
Dp = head loss in bar (1 bar = 100 kPa, 10.000 mm w.g.)
Kv = flow rate in m3/h through the valve, which corresponds to a
head loss of 1 bar
and you compare the value obtained with the typical values for each
valve size.
It is recommended to choose the valve size so it is pre-set on a
medium opening position in order to have room for both opening and
closing.

Memory stop/Sealing locking

The valves are equipped with an adjustment position memory system
that, after full closure which can be necessary for various reasons,
allows easy re-opening at the initial position.
Insert a 2,5 mm hexagonal spanner in the hole, turn counter-clockwise
until the red indicator, initially not visible, is aligned with the top edge
of the knob, without forcing it.

Flow rate measurement

Connect a differential pressure measuring station to the valves Venturi
device pressure test ports. Reading Dp on the measuring device, to obtain
the flow rate G you can refer to the characteristic Venturi diagram of the
valve being used.
Or, analytically, you can calculate the flow rate by applying the equation:
G = KvVenturi x

DpVenturi

(1.2)

Note: The diagram used in this phase is not the one used for preadjustment as it refers to the characteristics of DpVenturi-Flow rate of the
Venturi device located upstream of the valve and not those of the
entire valve (including the obturator), which instead are indicated in the
diagrams used for pre-adjustment.
Manual flow rate adjustment
To manually set the flow rate through the valve, adjust the position of
the knob until the differential pressure, indicated by the measurement
device, corresponds to the desired flow rate on the characteristic
Venturi diagram of the valve that you are using.
Or analytically calculate the head loss of the Venturi device by applying
the equation:
G2
DpVenturi =
(1.3)
KvVenturi2
Then turn the adjustment knob until you reach the value of Dp
calculated theoretically with the formula (1.3) indicated above.

Note: The diagram used in this phase is not the one used for preadjustment as it refers to the characteristics of DpVenturi - Flow rate of
the Venturi device inserted in the valve and not those of the entire valve
(including the obturator), which instead are indicated in the diagrams
used for pre-adjustment.

There are two holes on the knob that can

be used to seal (5) the setting position to
avoid or detect any tampering over time.

Correction for liquids with different densities

The following notes apply to liquids with viscosity 3E (water and
glycol mixtures, for example).
If using liquids with a density different to that of water at 20C
( = 1 kg/dm3), the head loss value Dp measured may be corrected
using the formula:
Dp = Dp/

where: Dp = reference head loss

Dp = measured head loss
= liquid density in kg/dm3

The value Dp is used when pre-adjusting or measuring the flow rate

using the diagrams or the formulas.

Example of pre-adjustment
A flow rate G = 900 l/h must create a head loss Dp = 14 kPa.
Choosing the diagram of the valve code 130600 size 1 gives an
adjustment position 2,3 (blue line).
Or, analytically, applying the formula (1.1) gives the value
Kv = 0,9 / 0,14 = 2,40.
From the table for the valve code 130600 1 you choose a
corresponding adjustment position 2,3 (value coinciding with or
nearest the one required).

Example of correction for liquid with different density

Liquid density = 1,1 kg/dm3
Measured (or desired) head loss Dp = 14 kPa.
Reference head loss Dp = 14/1,1 = 12,72 kPa
With this value you use the graph or the formula (1.1) and as a result
you obtain the adjustment position for the flow rate G (new position 2,5).

Example of flow rate measurement

Reading a DpVenturi of 3 kPa on a 1 valve, using the characteristic Venturi
diagram for the valve at issue, on the abscissa we read a flow rate value
equal to 1,7 m3/h (blue line).
Whereas, if we want to proceed analytically, using the equation (1.2),
the measurement of a DpVenturi equal to 3 kPa, bearing in mind that
KvVenturi of the valve 130600 size 1 is equal to 9,64, leads to
calculating a flow rate G = 9,64 x 0,03 = 1,67 m3/h.
Example of correction for liquid with different density
Liquid density = 1,1 kg/dm3
Measured head loss DpVenturi = 3 kPa
Reference head loss Dp = 3/1,1 = 2,72 kPa
With this value you use the valves Venturi diagram or the formula (1.2) and
obtain the corresponding flow rate G (= 1,59 m3/h).

Example of manual flow rate adjustment

Considering a 1 valve, we would like to adjust the flow rate on a value
of 2500 l/h.
Turn the knob of the valve onto the fully open position, then gradually
close the valve, keeping under control DpVenturi read off the measuring
device. As shown in the diagram alongside, on reaching the differential
value of 6,7 kPa (red line), the flow rate of the medium that will flow
through the valve will be the desired one of 2500 l/h.

Kv Venturi (m3/h)

Using the analytical method with a flow rate value equal to G = 2500 l/h
and with KvVenturi = 9,64 for the valve 130600 size 1 at issue, using the
formula (1.3) we have DpVenturi = 2,52/9,642 = 6,72 kPa. Regulate the
valve accordingly until you reach DpVenturi as calculated.
Example of correction for liquid with different density
Desired liquid flow rate G = 2.500 l/h.
Wit the formula (1.3) or the Venturi graph, we obtain the reference
head loss Dp = 2,52/9,642 = 6,72 kPa.
If the density of the liquid used is = 1,1 kg/dm3 the head loss DpVenturi
that we need to read off the measuring device, to have the desired
flow rate, will be given by the equation:
DpVenturi = x Dp = 1,1 x 6,72 = 7,39 kPa.

Construction details
Obturator made of technopolymer plastic
The obturator for this series of valves is made of technopolymer
plastic. This material is particularly resistant to abrasion due to the flow
of water.

Reference scale for adjustment

The opening position is indicated by two numbered indicators:
- The turn indicator (1) shows an adjustment scale from 0 (closure) to
maximum adjustment (6, 7, 10, 12 and 14 depending on the size of
the valve) in red.
Turning the knob manually through 360 causes the indicator to click
by one unit.
- The micrometric adjustment indicator (2) shows numbers in black
from 0 to 9.
Each change in the numerical position represents 1/10 of an
opening/closing turn of the valve with respect to the turn indicator (1).

Adjustment knob
The shape of the adjustment knob is the outcome of research into
ergonomics to ensure the greatest operator comfort and
accurate adjustment.
- The range of adjustment with a number of complete turns permits
great accuracy when balancing hydraulic circuits.
- The micrometric scale graduations are large and clear and make it
easy to refine the flow rate adjustment.
- The knob is made of corrosion-proof technopolymer, for the sizes
from DN 65 to DN 100; it is made of stamped steel, for sizes DN 125
and DN 150, as handwheel for easier adjustment of medium/large
sized devices.

Memory stop
The valves are equipped with an adjustment position memory system
that, after full closure, which may be necessary for various reasons,
allows easy re-opening at the initial position.
Locking the position to be saved needs no special tools and is
protected, to avoid improper use. Unscrew the threaded protective
cap with a screwdriver, then insert the screwdriver in the knob and fully
turn the internal screw clockwise

Quick-fit pressure test ports

The valves are equipped with quick-fit pressure test ports.
Measurement is fast and precise with this type of port, using Caleffi

USING AND ADJUSTING THE BALANCING VALVE

The balancing valve is used considering the fluid dynamic
characteristic produced by the relationship between the head loss
measured at the piezometric connections, the flow rate and the
obturator adjustment position.
Pre-adjustment
Knowing the value of the head loss Dp that needs to be created by the
valve with a certain flow rate G, you can obtain the adjustment position
number for the knob (PRESETTING).
To make this choice you can use the characteristic diagram for each
valve size.
Or, analytically, you can calculate the corresponding Kv by applying
the formula:

Kv =

G = flow rate in m3/h

Dp = head loss in bar
(1 bar = 100 kPa = 10.000 mm w.g.)
Kv = flow rate in m3/h for a head loss of
1 bar

(1.1) where:
G

Flow rate measurement

By measuring Dp on the valve for a given adjustment position you can
obtain the flow rate value G flowing through the valve itself. You can
use the diagram or, analytically, you can calculate the flow rate by
applying the equation:

G = Kv

(1.2)

Correction for liquids of different density

The following notes apply to liquids with viscosity 3E (water and
glycol mixtures, for example).
If using liquids with a density different to that of water at 20C
( = 1 kg/dm3), the head loss value Dp measured may be corrected
using the formula:
Dp =

Dp

where:

Dp = reference head loss

Dp = measured head loss
= liquid density in kg/dm3

The value Dp is used when pre-adjusting or measuring the flow rate

using the diagrams or the formulas.

and you compare the value obtained with the typical values for each
valve size.
It is recommended to choose the valve size so it is pre-set on a
medium opening position in order to have room for both opening
and closing.

Example of pre-adjustment
A flow rate G = 40 m3/h must create a head loss Dp = 8 kPa.
Choosing the diagram of the straight valve code 135100 DN 100 gives
an adjustment position 4 (blue line).
Or, analytically, applying the formula (1.1) gives the value
Kv = 40 / 0,08 = 141,84.
From the table for the valve code 135100 DN 100 you choose a
corresponding adjustment position 4 (value nearest the one
required).
Example of correction for liquid with different density
Liquid density = 1,1 kg/dm3
Measured (or desired) head loss Dp = 8 kPa.
Reference head loss Dp = 8/1,1 = 7,27 kPa
With this value you use the diagram or the formula (1.1) and obtain the
corresponding adjustment position for the flow rate G (new position 4,2).

The balancing valves must be installed in such a way as to ensure free
access to the pressure test ports, drain cocks and the adjustment
knob. The valves can be fitted on either horizontal or vertical pipes.
We recommend keeping the upstream and downstream sections of
pipe straight, as shown in the illustrations below, to ensure accurate
flow measurement. It is necessary to respect the flow direction shown
on the valve body.

Characteristic components
- Measuring sensor

The operator chooses the balancing valve from the list on the terminal
(manufacturer, model, size and position with the corresponding Kv).
The data of the valve, together with the measured Dp, are the basis for
calculating the flow rate that is displayed on the terminal screen. If the
valve on which you are making the measurement is not available in the
database, it is still possible to enter the Kv value manually.
Methods of measurement
The complete device allows to choose 3 methods of measurement:
1) Measurement with set position. The display shows the flow rate
calculated by the device in relation to the chosen valve and
assigned position.
2) Measurement with set flow rate. The position is calculated to
assign to the valve in order to obtain the desired flow rate.
3) Simple measurement Dp. The screen shows the differential
pressure value measured by the sensor.
