A: Area
C: Discharge coefficient
d: density ( water density = 1000kg/m³ )
D: Diameter
g: Gravity 9.8 m/s²
K: Flow coefficient (Kv)(Cv)
Q: Flow rate
SG: Specific gravity (1 for water)
v: Flow velocity
Δh: Head Drop (high of fluid)
ΔP: Pressure Drop
ζ: Pressure Drop coefficient zeta
K =
Cv, when K is referenced in [gpm] [psi] units.
K =
Kv, when K is referenced in [m³/h] [bar] units.
