Fp Pipe Reducer Correction Factors

For Cv Valve Coefficients

Technical Bulletin No. 1033
Date: March 1987 Page 1 of 4

The following charts show the Bray Fp factors, the pipe reducer correction factors for Cv coefficients, for the given
reducer/valve size combinations at 10 increments of valve opening 0-90. The first chart is for the "Thin Profile DiscStem" valve style and the second is for the "Thru-Stem Disc" valve style. Note that when there are no pipe reducers; that
is, the pipe inlet and outlet diameters are the same as the valve size, the Fp factor is equal to 1 at all angles of opening.
