Butterfly Valves: Torque, Head Loss, and Cavitation Analysis, 3rd edition
This manual of standard practice covers round or circular BVs and BFVs within the scopes of AWWA and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards ANSI/AWWA C504-15, ANSI/AWWA C507-15, and ANSI/AWWA C516-14 with essentially full-ported designs in which the port diameter and closure member diameter are close to the nominal pipe size (NPS) or nominal diameter (in inches or millimeters). This includes BFVs in sizes 3 in. (75 mm) and larger and BVs in sizes 6 in. (150 mm) through 60 in. (1,500 mm).
This manual of standard practice also covers PVs that have round or oblong ports and are available with either full or reduced port areas within the scope of ANSI/AWWA C517-09. Reduced port areas are generally greater than 75 percent of full pipe area.
