2-WAY NORMALLY OPEN Valve
A UL and CSA listed, low watt, miniature hazardous location valve with minimal space and energy requirements in volatile environments. Air and other fluids are compatible with standard Buna seals. Hot water, steam, gasoline, oils, some hydraulic fluids, and many other media require special seal materials.
- Smallest hazardous location solenoid valve.
- Best ambient and high temperature ratings on the market.
- NEMA 4 rating is standard with encapsulated coil.
- High quality engineering.

PeterPaul has created this page for you so you can calculate the flow or Cv (flow coefficient) to make the relationship visible between the pressure drop (the difference in pressure between two points of a liquid/gas carrying network) and the flow rate.
The use of this flow coefficient (Cv) calculator offers a standard calculation to compare valve capacities and sizing for a wide range of applications. The type and sizing of a valve or regulator can have a large impact on the performance of the assembly for transferring gas or liquids in the system.
