"The kv value expresses the amount of flow in a regulating valve at a given valve position with a pressure loss of 1 bar. The special situation with a fully open valve determines the kvs value.

The Kv value expresses the amount of flow in a regulating valve at a given valve position with a pressure loss of 1 bar. The special situation with a fully open valve determines the kvs value.

The amount of flow at a lower pressure loss can be calculated using the formula:

kv = Q / √ΔP

where

kv: kv value[m³/h]
Q: Flow [m³/h]
ΔP: Pressure loss over regulating valve [bar]" (http://uk.grundfos.com/service-support/encyclopedia-search/k... )

"The kv-values indicate the flow volume (Q) in m³/h at a pressure loss (∆p) across the valve of 1 bar; . At setting N, the kv-value in accordance with EN 215 can be stated as Xp = 2 K. At lower preset values, Xp will be reduced until approximately Xp 0.5 at presetting 1. The table shows the average measured values for integrated valves with radiator. The kvs-values indicate the valve capacity, when the valve is fully open"

"Kv-waarde; geleidingsvermogen van een klep, kraan of afsluiter." (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/KV ) [links to:]

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regelklep

"Kv-waarde[edit]
Het geleidingsvermogen van een klep (het tegenovergestelde van de weerstand) wordt aangegeven door de Kv-waarde (in Angelsaksische landen vaker de Cv-waarde). De Kv-waarde wordt aangegeven als de hoeveelheid doorgestroomd medium (vloeistof, gas) per tijdseenheid bij een eenheid van drukverschil over de klep. Meestal in m³/uur, of liter per minuut, bij een drukverschil van 1 bar. Die waarde varieert met het openingspercentage van de klep. De doorgelaten hoeveelheid (bij een bepaalde klepstand) is evenredig met de wortel uit het drukverschil."
