How do I determine the KV value?

Kv value of a solenoid valve or solenoid valve

Flow (l / min.) Of a liquid (water) with a certain viscosity at a valve or solenoid valve is expressed in a KV value. This is the maximum value, in liters per minute (water), that flows through a fully opened valve at a temperature of 20 ° C.

This with a pressure difference across the valve of 1 bar. If the pressure difference is larger, then as much as a percentage more liquid will flow through it.

Depending on resistance, knees, bends and reductions in diameters, the result of the calculation may differ.
