Pressure & Flow Calculators

Cv  = Flow Coefficient = Q * √ΔP/G
Q  = Flow rate in GPM of water
ΔP  = Pressure Drop = G * (Cv/Q)2
G  = Specific gravity

Cv is the fluid flow through a piping component at 60oF in US GPM at a pressure drop of 1 PSI. If Cv is > Q, the pressure drop is < 1 PSI. Formulas and results are based on perfect flow conditions; results will vary in actual practice if there is any flow turbulence, temperature variations, pressure shock waves, and as the filter accumulates debris.
