Type a value in Kv to get it in L/min instantly.
166.7L/min
That's 2.3× as open as a small control valve, while a domestic ball valve is 1.3× higher. At a one-bar drop that passes about 166.7 liters a minute of water.
What it means
How much passes through?
Flow coefficients are for water. Gas, steam and viscous liquids need their own sizing equations, and choked flow caps the answer entirely.
The math
How to convert Kv to L/min
To convert Kv to liters per minute at one bar, multiply by 16.6667.
Example: 10 Kv × 16.6667 = 166.667 L/min.
In the other direction, 1 L/min = 0.06 Kv.
