Setting of a valve for a particular pressure drop, e g corresponding to 2.3 turns on the graph, is carried out as follows:
1. Close the valve fully (Fig 1).
2. Open the valve 2.3 turns (Fig. 2).
3. Using a 3 mm Allen key, turn the inner spindle clockwise until stop.
4. The valve is set.
To check the setting: Close the valve, the indicator shows 0.0. Open it to the stop position. The indicator then shows the set value,
in this case 2.3 (Fig. 2).
Diagrams showing the pressure drop for each valve size at different settings and flow rates are available to help determine the
correct valve size and pre-setting (pressure drop). Four turns corresponds to fully opened valve (see Fig. 3). Opening it further will
not increase the capacity.
Fig. 1. Valve closed Fig. 2. The valve is set at 2.3 Fig. 3. Fully open valve
The zero position is calibrated and must not be changed.
Deviation of flow at different settings
The curve (Fig. 4) is valid for valves with normal pipe fittings* (Fig. 5). Try also to avoid mounting taps and pumps, immediately
before the valve.

5% more).
The flow calculations are valid for water (+68°F). For other liquids with approx. the same viscosity as water (≤20 cSt =
3°E=100S.U.), it is only necessary to compensate for the specific density. However, at low temperatures, the viscosity increases
and laminar flow may occur in the valves. This causes a flow deviation that increases with small valves, low settings and low
differential pressures. Correction for this deviation can be made with the software TA Select or direct in TA-CBI.

When ∆p and the design flow are known, use the formula to calculate the Cv-value or use the diagram.
Software
TA Select: Makes it easy to choose the right balancing valves by taking into account the desired flow, pressure drop and flow rate.
Measuring instruments
Use the TA-CBI electronic instrument. It is programmed with valve characteristics for TA valves, enabling measured differential
pressure to be read off directly as a flow rate. For further information on TA-CBI, see catalogue leaflet TA-CBI.
Conversion disc
By using the conversion disc it is easy to calculate the relationship between flow, pressure and setting values for all valve sizes.

Wanted:
Presetting for a 1”valve at a desired flow rate of 6.7 GPM and a pressure drop of 3 ft.
Solution:
Draw a straight line joining 6.7 GPM and 3 ft. This gives Cv=5.9. Now draw a horizontal line from Cv=5.9.
This intersects the bar for a 1”valve at the desired pre-setting of 2.35.
NOTE:
If the flow rate is out of the scale in the diagram, the reading can be made as follows: Starting with the example above, we get 3
ft., Cv=5.9 and flow-rate 6.7 GPM. At 3 ft. and Cv=0,59 we get the flow-rate 0,67 GPM, and at Cv=59, we get 67 GPM. That is, for
a given pressure drop, it is possible to read 10 times or 0.1 times the flow and Cv-values.
