valves. liquid pressure recovery factor: The ratio (FL) of the valve flow coefficient (Cv) based on the pressure drop at the vena contracta, to the usual valve flow coefficient (Cv) which is based on the overall pressure drop across the valve in non-vaporizing liquid service. These coefficients compare with …
