Characteristic (customer-specific characteristic)
Use this auxiliary function to select a transfer characteristic with reference to set-point value (nominal position, CMD) and valve
stroke (POS) for correction of the flow or operating characteristic.

The flow characteristic k
V
= f(s) indicates the flow of a valve, expressed by the k
V
value depending on the stroke s of the actuator
spindle. It is specified by the design of the valve seat and the seat seal. In general two types of flow characteristics are imple-
mented, the linear and the equal percentage.
In the case of linear characteristics identical k
V
value changes k
V
are assigned to identical stroke changes ds.
(dk

= n

⋅ ds).
In the case of an equal percentage characteristic an equal percentage change of the k
V
value corresponds to a stroke
change ds.

The operating characteristic Q = f(s) specifies the correlation between the volumetric flow Q in the installed valve and the stroke
s. This characteristic has the properties of the pipelines, pumps and consumers. It therefore exhibits a form which differs from
the flow characteristic.
