	Hi there, As stated above CV is the valve flow coefficient. The defintion: The Cv is the number of US gallons of water the valve will pass with a differential pressure of 1 psi. The basic formula: Q = Cv(dP/SG)^0.5 Where Q = flow in us GPM dP = differential pressure is PSI SG = Specific Gravity Regards, Craig
