Edit each '1' in the above calculation to add the following values:
Flow co-efficient - K v - Value must be taken from the technical documentation of the BBD
Valve.
Enthalpy (kJ / kg) - Derive the value for your boiler from the look up tables in Section 10.31.3,
pages 38 and 39.
Density (kg / m³) - Derive the value for your boiler from the look up tables in Section 10.31.3,
pages 38 and 39.
Other measured units: Pressure (bar) and Relative Density (kg / m³).
It is assumed that there will be a backpressure of 10%, so a factor of 0.9 can be seen in the
calculation. If backpressure different adjust formula accordingly.

Edit each '1' in the above calculation to add the following values:
Flow co-efficient - C v - Value must be taken from the technical documentation of the
BBD Valve (C v = K v x 1.156).
Enthalpy (Btu / lb) - Derive the value for your boiler from the look up tables in Section 10.31.3,
pages 38 and 39.
Density (lb / ft³) - Derive the value for your boiler from the look up tables in Section 10.31.3,
pages 38 and 39.
Other measured units: Pressure (psi) and Relative Density (lb / ft³).
It is assumed that there will be a backpressure of 10%, so a factor of 0.9 can be seen in
