MEASURING POINTS
Measuring points are self-sealed. Remove the cap and insert the probe through the seal.
SETTING
It is possible to read the set value on the handwheel.
The number of turns between the fully open and closed positions is:
4 turns for DN 20-50,
8 turns for DN 65-150,
12 turns for DN 200-250,
16 turns for DN 300,
20 turns for DN 350 and
22 turns for DN 400.
Initial setting of a valve for a particular pressure drop, e g corresponding to 2.3 turns on the graph, is carried out as follows:
1. Close the valve fully (Fig 1)
2. Open the valve to 2.3 turns (Fig. 2).
3. Using an Allen key, turn the inner spindle clockwise until the stop position.
4. The valve is now set.
To check the setting of a valve, rst close the valve, then open it to the stop position; the indicator then shows the
presetting number, in this case 2.3 (Fig. 2).
Example DN 65
Fig. 1 Valve closed Fig. 2 The valve is set at 2.3
Example DN 200
Fig. 1 Valve closed Fig. 2 The valve is set at 2.3

CORRECTION FACTORS
The ow calculations are valid for water (+20C). For other liquids with approximately the same viscosity as water
(20 cSt = 3E=100S.U.), it is only necessary to compensate for the specic density. However, at low temperatures, the
viscosity increases and laminar ow may occur in the valves. This causes a ow deviation that increases with small valves,
low settings and low differential pressures. Correction for this deviation can be made with the software TA Select or
directly in TAs balancing instruments.
SIZING
When p and the design ow are known, use the formula to calculate the Kv-value or use the diagram.

DIAGRAM EXAMPLE
Wanted:
Presetting for DN 25 at a desired ow rate of 1.8 m3/h and a pressure drop of 20 kPa.
Solution:
Draw a straight line joining 1.8 m3/h and 20 kPa. This gives Kv=4.
Now draw a horizontal line from Kv=4.
This intersects the bar for DN 25 at the desired presetting of 2.1 turns.
NOTE:
If the ow rate falls outside the scale in the diagram, the reading can be made as follows: Starting with the example above,
we get 20 kPa, Kv = 4 and owrate 1.8 m3/h. At 20 kPa and Kv = 0.4 we get the ow-rate 0.18 m3/h, and at Kv = 40, we get
18 m3/h. That is, for a given pressure drop, it is possible to read 10 times or 0.1 times the ow and Kv-values.
