    The document discusses European standards for sizing control valves. It describes how the Cv coefficient is used to define a valve's flow capacity and outlines different valve flow characteristics like linear, digital, and equal percentage. It also reviews EU standards NF EN 60534-1, NF EN 60534-2-1, and NF EN 60534-2-3 for sizing valves for single-phase, gas/vapour, and two-phase flows. The document concludes that main valve suppliers use EU standards and that CEA has implemented calculations to compare Cv values from suppliers to results from standards.

    Euratom

    For a defined fluid, the characteristic of a flow control valve is the pressure drop as function of the flow capacity for several stroke values. The valve flow capacity is defined by the value of the Cv coefficient which is applicable for any kind of fluid. In addition to the service conditions, the flow control valve specifications gathers the following characteristics : - valve size (DN) - sort of valve (butterfly, rotatable, plug ) - plug profile - flow direction with the valve device, the manufacturer has to provide the technical data including : - Fd factor depending on the hydraulic diameter. - FL factor taking in account the choked flow due to cavitations phenomena. - XT factor taking in account the choked flow in case of critical pressure drop. - Cv coefficient (full opening or 80% opening)

    Conclusions

    Euratom

    The main supplier of flow control valve like VEKA or VELAN use their own code which refers to EU standards. In the frame of EFDA tasks concerning the the design of the ITER cryodistribution, the valve sizing are performed according to the EU standards. CEA implemented an Excel-macro for the Cv calculation in accordance with the EU standards. A comparison of several Cv values will be carried between those given by the suppliers and the results of CEA calculations.
