[Example]
The flow rate of the pressure reducing valve is calculated under the following conditions:
Nominal size 15A, saturated steam, Inlet pressure of 0.6 MPa = 0.7 [MPa A], Reduced
pressure of 0.4 MPa = 0.5 [MPa A], you can find that Cv value of 15A is 5.0 from the chart.
The following formula is established.

* Use a safety factor of 80 to 90% for nominal size selection in view of friction losses in
piping.
