The flow coefficient of a [[valve]] is a relative measure of its efficacy at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the [[pressure]] drop across an orifice and the corresponding flow rate.

	There are two standards for valve CV. The most common is ~~related to liquid flow and~~ the volume of ~~liquid~~ that ~~can pass the~~ valve ~~in Gallons per Minute for~~ a 1 ~~PSI pressure differential on~~ the valve.		There are two standards for valve CV. The most common is the volume in US gallons of water in one minute that will through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve.

	The other standard is for compressible gas.		The other standard is for compressible gas.
