This part of GB/T 17213 includes calculation formulas for predicting the flow of compressible fluid and incompressible fluid flowing through control valves. The formulation for incompressible fluids is derived from the standard hydrodynamic equations for Newtonian incompressible fluids, which cannot be extended to non-Newtonian fluids, mixed fluids, suspensions, or two-phase fluids. When the ratio of differential pressure to inlet pressure (△p/p1) is very low, the properties of compressible fluids are similar to incompressible fluids. In this case, the formulas given in this section can be derived from the basic Bernoulli equations for Newtonian incompressible fluids. However, when the value of △p/p1 increases, it will cause a compression effect, which requires an appropriate correction coefficient to correct the basic equation. The formulas presented in this section apply to gases or vapors, not to multiphase flows of gas-liquid, vapor-liquid or gas-solid mixtures. For compressible fluid applications, this section is valid for control valves with xT≦0.84 (see Table 2). For control valves (some multi-pole valves) with xT>0.84, there is a large error. Reasonable accuracy can only be maintained when KV/d2<0.04 (CV/d2<0.047).
