M49 Quarter-Turn Valves: Head Loss, Torque, and Cavitation Analysis, Fourth Edition

This manual provides guidance on generally available methods for using quarter-turn valves as well as their cavitation, flow, and torque characteristics. Questions about specific situations or applicability of specific valves and values should be directed to the manufacturers or suppliers. Information in this manual is useful for technicians and engineers who want a basic understanding of the calculations associated with the use and specification of quarter-turn valves. The valve torque, flow, and cavitation coefficients given are typical but generic values covering a variety of products. Actual flow, cavitation, or torque coefficients for a particular manufacturer's valve should be used in calculations for a specific valve and application to obtain the highest calculation accuracy.
