• Toclosethevalverotatethehandleclockwiseuntilitstops.Usingthedatareportedinthe
 attacheddiagrams,theowcanberegulatedbyrotatingthehandlecounter-clockwise
 untiltherequiredowrateisreached.
• Thisowratecanbemeasuredusingadifferentialmanometer.
• Thisinterfaceswiththebalancingvalvethroughtwosensorsinsertedinthebinderpoints
 (Kvs)placedbeforeandafterthevalve’sgaugeddiaphragm.
