Figure 2. Sizing double valves
Assumptions:
1) Pressure downstream of valve is atmospheric
2) Maximum gas temperature of 140 °F
3) Valve in fully open position
NOTE:
Pressure drop is total drop across both valves when using SKPx5…
actuator, with or without an AGA66.
CAUTION:
Do not oversize valves equipped with regulating actuators SKP2…, SKP5… or SKP7…
Oversizing may limit turndown and could cause oscillations.
