FLOW DATA
For Apollo® and Saturn® Ball Valves
The listed Cv “factors” are derived from actual flow testing, in the Apollo® Ball Valve Division, Conbraco
Industries, Inc., Pageland, South Carolina. These tests were completed using standard “off the shelf” valves with
no special preparation and utilizing standard schedule 40 pipe. It should be understood that these factors are for
the valve only and also include the connection configuration. The flow testing is done utilizing water as a fluid
media and is a direct statement of the gallons of water flowed per minute with a 1 psig pressure differential
across the valve/connection unit. Line pressure is not a factor. Because the Cv is a factor, the formula can be used
to estimate flow of most media for valve sizing.
Flow of Liquid
Q = Cv
∆P
SpGr
or ∆P = (Q)2 (SpGr)
(Cv)2
Where:
Q = flow in US gpm
∆P = pressure drop (psig)
SpGr = specific gravity at
flowing temperature
Cv = valve constant
Flow of Gas
Where:
Q = flow in SCFH
∆P = pressure drop (psig)
Q = 1360 Cv
(∆P) (P2)
SpGr
= specific gravity
(SpGr) (T)
(based on air = 1.0)
P2 = outlet pressure–psia
or ∆P = 5.4 x 10-7 (SpGr) (T) (Q)2
(psig + 14.7)
T = (temp. °F + 460)
(Cv)2 (P2)
Cv = valve constant

CAUTION
IT IS THE INSTALLER'S AND/OR SYSTEM DESIGNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THESE VALVES
ARE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE AND CURRENT ANSI B31 STANDARDS.
FOLLOWING, ARE SOME SAFEGUARDS THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
EASE OF OPERATION - BALL VALVES ARE EASIER TO OPERATE THAN OTHER TYPES OF SHUT-OFF
VALVES. WHEN THESE VALVES ARE INSTALLED SO THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE
HANDLES CAN BE HOOKED OR SNAGGED, APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL OR
UN-WANTED OPENING OR CLOSING OF THE VALVE MUST BE TAKEN. VIBRATIONS IN, THROUGH
OR AROUND THE VALVE CAN ALSO CAUSE ACCIDENTAL OR UN-WANTED OPENING OR CLOSING
OF THE VALVE.
PRESSURE RELIEF - DETERMINE AND PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION AGAINST EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE VALVE OR PIPING SYSTEM DUE TO THERMAL EXPANSION. THERMAL
EXPANSION CAN CREATE EXTREME PRESSURES WELL ABOVE THE WORKING PRESSURE LIMIT OF
THE VALVE WHICH CAN CAUSE LEAKING OR BURSTING OF THE VALVE.
SUPPORTS - IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONNECT A FLEXIBLE HOSE OR OTHER NON-RIDGED CONDUIT
TO THE VALVE, THE DESIGN OF SUCH INSTALLATION MUST PREVENT ANY “WHIPPING ACTION”
THAT COULD INJURE OR DAMAGE PERSONNEL OR EQUIPMENT. VALVE MUST BE IMMOBILE.
FITTINGS - USE ONLY THOSE FITTINGS OR PIPING THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE VALVES
BEING USED TO PREVENT BREAKAGE AND/OR LEAKAGE. (AS FOR ONE EXAMPLE, IT IS POOR
PRACTICE AND NEVER RECOMMENDED TO USE PLASTIC PIPE OR FITTINGS WITH METALLIC
VALVES SINCE THERMAL EXPANSION, EXTERNAL FORCES OR OTHER SITUATIONS CAN CAUSE
BREAKAGE OR LEAKAGE AT OR NEAR THE JOINT).
PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE LIMITS - THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE LIMIT OF THE VALVE IS
MARKED ON THE VALVE BODY. NEVER EXCEED THIS “WOG” RATING WHICH IS SPECIFIED UP TO
100°F. TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN 100°F DECREASE THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE
LIMIT. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE CHART THAT IS PUBLISHED IN THE
CATALOG OR SPECIFICATION SHEET FOR THE PARTICULAR VALVE BEING INSTALLED.
FREEZING - PROVIDE MEANS TO PROTECT THE VALVE FROM FREEZING AND BURSTING WHEN
USED WITH LIQUIDS.
FLUID COMPATIBILITY - CONSIDER THE CORROSIVE, EROSIVE AND ADHESIVE EFFECTS OF
FLUIDS ON THE VALVE AND PIPING COMPONENTS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
THE VALVE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MATERIAL(S) USED IN THE SYSTEM.
INSTALLATION - THE USE OF PTFE PIPE TAPE AS A SEALANT IS RECOMMENDED FOR THREADED
VALVES WHEN MAKING JOINTS. CORRECT LUBRICATION OF STAINLESS STEEL PIPE THREADS IS
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO PREVENT THREAD GALLING. DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE TORQUE
WHEN INSTALLING THE VALVE. TO PREVENT DISTORTION OR DAMAGE TO THE VALVE, DO NOT
APPLY TORQUE THROUGH THE VALVE. USE PROPER SUPPORTS IN HANDLING PRE-FABRICATED
SECTIONS AND IN FINAL INSTALLATION. ALWAYS TEST THE SYSTEM BEFORE USING.
MAINTENANCE - DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE VALVE WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. REQUEST A
MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING REPAIRS TO THE VALVE.
MATERIALS CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHARTS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

Seat Application Guide
Designation
Range
General Description
-01 (RPTFE)
to 450°F
Glass Reinforced PolyTetraFluoroEthylene Seat Seals and
Packings: Most commonly specified seat material. Maintains the
chemical resistance of PTFE with increased resistance to wear and
abrasion resulting in longer life.
-21 (UHMWPE)
to 180°F
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Seats with Graphite
Seals and Packings: Offers good abrasion resistance making it
suitable for use in high solids or slurry applications. This seat is
frequently specified in services where fluorine off-gassing in even
the slightest amounts is objectionable, services such as food and
tobacco processing, and Nuclear services. UHMWPE should be
used with caution in the presence of solvents, and the operating
torque can be expected to be 30% higher than RPTFE seat
materials.
-35 (PTFE)
to 400°F
PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE) Seats, Seals and Packings:
General application seat material, exhibiting lowest operating
torque and excellent resistance to chemical attack.
-38 (PEEK)
to 550°F
PolyEtherEtherKetone Seats with Graphite Seals and Packings:
Offers a high strength alternative to RPTFE, resistant to creep and
cold flow. This seat offers good abrasion resistance. This material
offers similar chemical resistance to PTFE but should be checked
on application. Operating torque tends to be 40% higher than
RPTFE.
-56 (Multifill)
to 500°F
Carbon and Graphite Reinforced PTFE Seats, Seals and Packings:
Reduced creep and cold flow like any RPTFE but with 20% lower
operating torque than the glass reinforced versions.
-64 (Multifill)
to 500°F
Carbon and Graphite Reinforced PTFE Seats, Seals and Packings:
Reduced creep and cold flow like any RPTFE but with 20% lower
operating torque than the glass reinforced versions. Includes
handle graphics for 250 psig saturated steam.
-65 (Multifill)
to 500°F
Carbon and Graphite RPTFE Seats, Graphite Seals and Packings:
Reduced creep and cold flow like any RPTFE but with 20% lower
operating torque than the glass reinforced versions.
This configuration is also good for steam applications.
