ControlValve Sizing application workbooks

These Excel® Workbooks are intended as full function control valve sizing applications.

Cci Valves Houston

They include control valve sizing calculations in accordance with the current ISA/IEC standards and noise calculations in accordance with the current IEC standards. These workbooks include typical valve sizing and noise calculation parameters and typical tables of valve capacity (Cv) for a number of the most popular control valve styles. As such, many users will find them suitable for preliminary control valve selection. When you select a valve manufacturer it would be wise to ask them to verify your selections based their proprietary parameters.

Additional features rarely found in valve selection applications is the ability to calculate and graph the install flow characteristic and installed gain of a particular valve style and size in the system into which it is to be installed.

There are three workbooks. Gas flow in mass flow units, Gas flow in volumetric flow units and Liquid flow. The first tab on each is a 'READ ME' tab which contains an instruction manual. Reading the manual will significantly improve your experience with the workbook.

I have retained my original stand-alone worksheets for valve sizing and IEC noise that are below for those who prefer to use them.

The download is a zip file which contains a short instruction manual, and Excel® worksheets for:

Liquid (Volumetric flow units) Includes a tab that can convert mass flow to volumetric flow

Gas (Volumetric flow units where the molecular weight or specific gravity is known)

Gas (Mass flow units where the density is known. This includes steam.)

A unique feature of these worksheets is that in addition to performing traditional Cv calculations, they can also graph the installed flow characteristic and installed gain of a valve when it is installed in a particular system.

These worksheets are based on ANSI/ISA-75.01.01 (IEC 60534-2-1 Mod) -2012 'Flow Equations for Sizing Control Valves.' Each has space for four simultaneous calculations. For example, you can calculate required control valve capacity (Cv or Kv) for Minimum, Normal, Maximum and one additional flow condition. Engineering units are by default set to US units, but can be easily changed to SI units. Your experience with these worksheets will be much better if you read the included 'Instructions.'

I have recently become a member of the ISA S75.07 committee that is working on standards involving control valve noise. So far my main effort has been to make Excel®worksheets that calculate Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic noise in accordance with the current IEC Standards. These calculations involve many equations and, in the words of Dr. HansBaumann area'programmers nightmare.' I have to agree with him!

Here are two zip files, one for Aerodynamic noise and one for Hydrodynamic noise. Each contains a worksheet for flow in mass flow units and a worksheet for volumetric flow units. Also included for each is a short instruction file.

On 1/15/18 I replaced the Hydrodynamic noise file withRev. 1b. The only change is that I added the option of either entering a known value of xFz or letting the worksheet calculate an approximate value using Equation 3 of the Standard.

On 3/9/18 I added an Excel sheet that calculates typical values for some parameters required by the IEC noise calculations.

On 8/7/18 I replaced the Aerodynamic noise sheets with Rev. 2. There was a minor error in the FLP calculation for Conditions 2, 3 and 4. This only resulted in a calculation error of about 1 dB(A).

On 10/7/18 I replaced the Typical xFz, Fd and FL parameters worksheet with Rev 3. There was a change to the FL calculation for the Globe 4 port cage valves.

On 10/9/18 I replaced the Typical xFz, Fd and FL parameters worksheet with Rev 4. There was a change to the xFz calculation for the Globe 4 port cage valves.

Some parameters required by the IEC control valve noise calculations, especially xFz and Fd are not always easy to find. When valve manufacturer's data is not available, this Excel sheet can provide typical values based on the user's input of Cv based on the sizing calculations from a valve sizing program or worksheet and the valve size.

This worksheet approximates liquid vapor pressure for control valve sizing purposes. The calculation uses the Antoine equation along with Antoine parameters as presented on the 'NIST Chemistry WebBook.' The worksheet includes a link to the NIST Chemistry WebBook, along with instructions for using the worksheet.

On Aug. 31 2015 I replaced the original worksheet with Rev 1a which allows temperature input in either degrees C or F and returns vapor pressure in both bar and psia. Blackstar insider manual.

Revised May 6, 2017. Minor revisions to some tabulated data. Added a README (Information and Instructions) tab.

Revised May 28 2017. Minor corrections to some tabulated values. Added tabulated values for Tr = 2.5 for increased accuracy.

This worksheet approximates the compressibility factor of gasses for control valve sizing purposes. It uses tabulated data from the Nelson Obert charts with two dimensional interpolation between the tabulated reduced pressure points and reduced temperature points.

It is valid for reduced temperatures (Tr) between 1.0 and 15 and reduced pressures (Pr) between 0.0 and 20. The worksheet shows the reduced pressure and temperature being used in the calculation, and informs the user whether each is within the limits of the worksheet.

There is space on the worksheet for four calculations to make it easily compatible with the four calculations performed by the above control valve sizing worksheets.

This worksheet approximates the behavior of P1 and P2 (pressure upstream and pressure downstream of a control valve) at different flow rates. This might be useful if valve Cv calculations need to be made at several flow rates, when only P1 and P2 are known at the maximum and minimum design flow rates. The principle behind the calculation is that pressure loss in a piping system is approximately proportional to flow squared.


Although the units on this worksheet are shown as gpm and psig, the calculation method is independent of units and the user can use any appropriate units.

On 8/20/15 I replaced Revision 1 of the file with Revision 2, which reformats the worksheet to allow entry of any minimum design flow and adds an Instruction tab and a Calculation Method tab.

Microsoft Excel Table101.8 KB

This worksheet calculates the pressure drop in liquid piping systems.


There are ten columns of identical individual calculations. You can use just one, or you can use more than one for different flow rates in the same system, for unrelated calculations or for chained calculations for the same system where you want to break the system down into several small systems in series.
