Best Answer

Cv is a capacity rating for a valve. A valve with a Cv = 1 will flow 1 gpm of water with a differential pressure of 1 psi. If the Cv was 100, it would flow 100 gpm of water with a 1 psi differential pressure.

For non-flashing/cavitating service, Q = Cv * (dP/SG)^0.5. Q is the flow rate in gpm (US gal), dP is the differential pressure in psi and SG is the liquid's specific gravity.

What does cv rating mean on a water valve?

The CV value is the flow rate required to generate 1 psid of pressure loss through the valve. Since pressure drop follows a basic square law the relationship between Cv, flow and pressure loss is as follows: DP = k x Flow^2 eq 1 Where k is a constant that represents the flow shape in the wide open condition. Since Cv is the flow rate at 1 psi of pressure loss then it follows that DP = k x Cv^2 = 1 eq 2 solving for k from eq 2 yields k = 1/Cv^2 eq 3 substituting eq 3 into eq 1 yields DP = (Flow/Cv)^2 Now you have an equation that will tell you the pressure and flow relationship for that particular valve with a particular fully open Cv value. In short, the higher the Cv value the more flow the valve will allow for the same pressure loss or the less pressure loss for the same flow. Good luck

What is the clicking sound that starts when the truck starts moving?

The first and easiest answer is to remove the wheel covers and listen again for the clicking noise. It could be a pebble loose inside a wheel cover or a tire valve stem clicking against the wheel cover. If it's not that easy, and your truck has CV joints, I would suspect a bad CV joint. Look for a torn CV boot.
