Clarkson C-Valve Sizing Guide
Sizing Guide for the Clarkson C-Valve, the Only Slurry
Throttling Valve
C-Valve Described The C-Valve consists of an elastomer sleeve,
available in various materials, surrounded by an elastomer muscle,
inside a cast ductile iron body housing. To throttle the slurry
flow, the muscle is compressed inward by hydraulic pressure,
reducing the orifice size of the sleeve in a 360-degree squeeze. As
it constricts, a round and concentric aperture is maintained across
the entire throttling range, from wide open to 50% reduction in
diameter. This equates to a 75% reduction in open area or up to 90%
reduction of maximum flow. Its closure pattern provides modified
linear control. Various sleeves are available to suit applications
in size and media The standard C-Valve sleeve orifice is full port
in the wide-open condition; however, many times a reduced port is
better suited to the application. Optional reduced-port sleeves are
available to change the size of the orifice. They are inexpensive,
easily installed and give the user the flexibility of varying the
valve size to meet changing conditions. Additionally, in
applications where the exact process conditions are not initially
known, a smaller bore reducing sleeve valve can be installed to
correct inadvertent oversizing. See page 2 for optional sleeve
sizes.The sizing information contained within is intended to allow
the user to determine the proper combination of valve and sleeve
size to meet the process requirements.

Clarkson C-Valve Sizing GuideIntroduction
Introduction
Method
The data presented in the sizing curve section follows standard
conventions of the control valve industry. All of the values
pertain to the performance of the C-Valve in water at 60F [15.6C],
and in the given pipeline size. The C-Valve is designed to operate
from full open to 75% port area reduction, or a reduction of 50% in
the port diameter. This will be referred to as Operating Range in
the sizing curves. There are several combinations of valve/sleeves
that can be operated over a wider range. The C-Valves round port
remains circular from full open to a 50% reduction in diameter. In
general, the valve characteristic for a C-Valve is linear or
modified linear. There are some combinations of valve/sleeve that
deviate from this pattern. The Cv curves presented later in this
publication illustrate the flow characteristic for all C-Valves.
The sleeve is the replaceable elastomeric wear component of the
C-Valve. A wide variety of elastomers are available for many
applications. Generally, the elastomers are selected depending on
three main considerations, abrasion, chemical, and temperature
resistance. Other considerations are the process pressure, and the
type of control desired. Wear and permanent set, in the elastomeric
sleeve of the C-Valve, can change the flow characteristics from the
original conditions. The controller can be readjusted if required
to compensate, or if desired, the valve sleeve can be replaced to
attain the original design start point. Another important factor in
slurry flow control is fluid flow velocity. This velocity is very
dependent on the settling velocity. This is the minimum velocity
required to keep the solid particles from settling to the bottom of
the pipe/valve. The graph on Page 12 may be used to estimate this
velocity.
The basic sizing method used to determine the required C-Valve
flow coefficient is the standard Cv equation: Where: Cv Cv = Q (K)
(S.G./ P)
- System flow coefficient
Q - Volumetric flowrate (volume/time); gpm K - Unit correction
factor (pressure/gal/min) to make Cv dimensionless (K=1 for gpm
& psi units)
P - pressure drop across the valve installation (pressure);
psidS.G. - Slurry specific gravity (dimensionless)
The C-Valve that most closely matches the required Cv range of
the process is then chosen . In the examples shown on the following
pages, all calculations are carried out in U.S. customary units;
therefore, K will be omitted in the following examples. For initial
data and final results, the metric equivalent is shown in brackets
[ ].

Clarkson C-Valve Sizing GuideExample 1
Example 1, Line Feed Control
Problem: Determine the best C-Valve size and check the flow
velocity based on the following data provided from a valve data
sheet:
LINE SIZE: 8" Sch. 40 steel pipe [203 mm] FLUID/SLURRY: Lime
slurry SPECIFIC GRAVITY MIXTURE (S.G.): 1.15 MAXIMUM FLOWRATE: 2000
gpm [454 m3/hr] NORMAL FLOWRATE: 1500 gpm [341 m3/hr] MINIMUM
FLOWRATE: 900 gpm [204 m3/hr] DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE AT
FLOWRATE:
MAXIMUM: 27 psid @ minimum flow [186.2 KPa] NORMAL: 15 psid @
normal flow [103.4 KPa] MINIMUM: 8 psid @ maximum flow [55.2
KPa]
Solution: 1. Calculate the Cv from the equation Cv = (Q) (S.G. /
P)
At maximum flowrate and minimum differential pressure, Cv = 2000
(1.15/8) = 758
At normal flowrate and differential pressure, Cv = 1500
(1.15/15) = 415
At minimum flow rate and maximum differential pressure, Cv = 900
(1.15/27) = 186
2. From the Cv chart for an 8" pipeline (Page 21), the 6" CValve
with the 6 x 4 reduced port sleeve and a Cv range of about 110 to
1000 is selected. This selection allows for flowrate adjustment in
both higher and lower flow ranges. Adjustment could be done with a
full port 6 x 6 or reduced port 6 x 5 or 6 x 3 sleeves, without
replacing the entire valve. 3. From the nomograph on page 9, the
flow velocities in the 8" line are 5.7, 9.5, and 13 ft./sec.
[1.74,2.9, 3.96 m/s]. These are all reasonable velocities for a
fine particle slurry.

Example 2, Pumping System Flow Control
Problem: Determine the best pump speed, and valve sizing, to
control the system flowrate from 800 to 1400 gallons per minute
(gpm). System Parameters:
For the elbows: Le = (20) 0.5 ft. = 10 ft. [3.05 m] 4 elbows =
40 ft. [12.2 m]
Adding these equivalent lengths to the 220 feet [67 meters] of
actual 6" pipeline gives the total equivalent pipeline length (TEL)
of 273 feet [83.2 m]. From the nomograph on page 9 and a C value of
100 for steel pipe, the following friction loss (f) values can be
determined:
TOTAL PIPELINE LENGTH = 220 FT. [67.1 m] 6" SCH 40 STEEL PIPE
[152 mm] 2-6, 150# GATE VALVES [152 mm @ 1034 KPa] 4-90 DEGREE LONG

GRAVITY OF FLUID = 1.0 TEMPERATURE = 70F. [21.1C] AVAILABLE PUMP, 6
X 4 X 13.5 slurry pump
Solution: In order to draw the system curve and pump performance
curves on a flowrate vs. head chart, the following is required:
Total equivalent pipeline length
Friction losses at each flowrate Pump performance data
At 300 gpm, f = 1.2 ft. per 100 ft. [0.37 m/30.5 m] of pipeline
length. At 600 gpm, f = 4.4 ft./100 ft. [1.34 m/30.5 m] of pipeline
length. At 900 gpm, f = 9.5 ft./100 ft. [2.9 m/30.5 m] of pipeline
length. At 1200 gpm, f = 16 ft./100 ft. [4.9 m/30.5 m] of pipeline
length. At 1500 gpm, f = 22 ft./100 ft. [6.7 m/30.5 m] of pipeline
length. At 1800 gpm, f = 34 ft./100 ft. [10.4 m/30/5 m] of pipeline
length.
The total equivalent pipeline length is the sum of the actual
pipeline length, and the equivalent lengths of all valves and
fittings. From Crane Technical Paper #410 (Page 10) the equivalent
length expressed in pipe diameters L/D), for the gate valve is 13
and for the long radius 90-degree elbow is 20. Multiplying these
L/D numbers, by the pipe diameter (D) in feet, yields the
equivalent length (Le) of pipe for each fitting.
Keep in mind that each of the values for f must be multiplied by
2.73 (number of 100 foot intervals in the system) to plot the
actual friction head. Example: @ 300 gpm, f = 1.2 (ft./100 ft.)
(2.73) = 3.28 ft. Graph #1 (Page 5) is drawn in the following
way:
For the gate valves: Le = (L/D) D = (13) 0.5 ft. = 6.5 ft. [1.98
m] 2 valves = 13 ft. [3.96 m]
First, a horizontal line is drawn at 30 feet of water head to
show the static head the pump must deliver to raise the level as
required between the two tanks (see Figure 1, above).

Clarkson C-Valve Sizing GuideExample 2
Next, the friction (f) values, at each flowrate, are plotted,
using the static head line as the zero line. Then the pump
performance data (see pump chart included on Page 13) are drawn
onto the graph. Use 1550, and 1750 rpm as examples. Vertical lines
are then drawn at the desired flowrate values of 800 and 1400 gpm
[182 and 318 m3/hr].
Where: Q S.G.
-
Flowrate in gpm Slurry specific gravity (dimensionless)
P
-
pressure drop across the valve installation (pressure); psid
From this equation, the required minimum Cv at 800 gpm [182
m3/hr], and 43.3 psid [298 KPa], is 122; the maximum Cv at 1400 gpm
[318 m3/hr] and 15 psid [103.4KPa] is 361. Notice that the maximum
Cv is calculated from maximum flowrate and minimum pressure drop,
while the minimum Cv is from the minimum flowrate and maximum
pressure drop. From the Cv chart for the 6" (Page 20) pipe size,
five possible valve/sleeve combinations cover this range of Cv.
They are the 4 x 4, 6 x 4, and the 6, 4, 3 all with 3" port. The 4
x 3 is chosen for the following reasons: A) The reduced port sleeve
allows better control since the curve has no flat spot that is
normally seen in the full port sleeves. B) The 4" valve can be
refitted with both larger and smaller ports if adjustment is
desirable. C) Though the 6" valve with a 3" reduced port will also
control in this application, there is no port smaller than 3"
available in a 6" valve. D) Initial cost favors using the smallest
valve size possible.
From the Graph #1, the difference in ft. of water between the
pump curve and the system friction curve at each desired flowrate
is the required pressure drop to be imposed by the C-Valve.
At 1550 rpm, and 800 gpm, the required pressure drop ( P) = 100
ft (0.433) psi/ft. water = 43.3 psid [198 KPa]. At 1550 rpm, and
1400 gpm, P = (35 ft.) (0.433 psi/ft. water) = 15 psid [103.4 KPa].
At 1750 rpm, and 800 gpm, P= (140 ft.) (0.433 psi/ft. water) = 61
psid [420.6 KPa]. At 1750 rpm, and 1400 gpm, P= (75 ft.) (0.433
psi/ft. water) = 33.5 psid [231 KPa].
Since the Clarkson C-Valve is not recommended for pressure drops
of greater than 50 psid [344.7 KPa], the pump speed of 1550 is
chosen. The maximum calculated pressure drop is only 43.3 psid [298
KPa]. Higher pressure drop can cause cavitation damage. To
calculate the required valve flow coefficient (Cv), the equation
is: Cv = (Q)(S.G./ P)

Example 3: Static Head Thickener Underflow
Problem: Determine the proper C-Valve size and select the
pipeline size for the following thickener underflow system:
THICKENER TONNAGE: 7,000-10,000 tons/day (tpd) [6,350 9,072 metric
ton/day] DESIRED UNDERFLOW SOLIDS CONCENTRATION: 50% by weight
(wt.) SPECIFIC GRAVITY SOLIDS: 2.60 PIPELINE LENGTH: 160 ft. [48.77
m] REQUIRED FITTINGS: 2 -90 deg. long radius elbow 1 -Clarkson
knife gate shut-off valve TOTAL STATIC HEAD: 25 ft. [7.62 m]
Solution: 1. Determine the flow rate in U.S. gallons per minute
(gpm) and the slurry specific gravity (S.G.) at the desired 50%
solids by weight. (Use Nomograph or associated formula, Page 11).
From the formula for converting tons per hour (tph) to gpm at 50%
solids the flowrate in gpm is: Flowrate = (4.02) (tph) ([% water/%
solid] + 1/S.G. solid). Flowrate (At 7500 tpd) = (4.02)(7500/24)
([.5/.5 + 1/2.60]) = 1739 gpm [395 m3/hr]. At 10000 tpd Flowrate =
2319 gpm [527 m3/hr]. The slurry S.G. can be determined from the
same bulletin, using the S.G. of the solids (2.60) and 50% solids
by wt. in the pipeline. The S.G. of the slurry is 1.44. 2. The
appropriate pipeline size is determined with the following
assumptions: Two equal sized lines are both running at all times
with a third for backup. Alternate, one larger line is running at
all times, and one line is for backup. The carrying velocity is
about 8 feet per second [2.44 m/s] (assuming the solid particles
will settle at approximately 7 ft. per sec. [2.13 m/s]). This will
minimize pipeline sanding.
From the nomograph on page 9: The velocity (v) in the two 611
sch. 40 steel pipelines, at 1739/2 or (870) gpm is v = 9.8 ft./sec.
[3.0 m/s]; at 2319/2 or (1160) gpm is v = 13 ft./sec. [4.0 m/s];
The velocity in the two 811 sch. 40 steel pipelines at the flowrate
of 1739/2 or (870) gpm is v = 5.8 ft./sec. [1.8 m/s]; At 2319/2 or
(1160) gpm is v = 7.6 ft./sec. [2.3 m/s]; Using only one 10 sch. 40
steel pipeline, the velocity at 1739 gpm is v=7.2 ft./sec. [2.2
m/s]; At 2319 gpm, v = 9.4 ft./sec. [2.9 m/s]. 3. Determine the
equivalent length of pipe (Le) in order to calculate the friction
head loss due to the flow velocity. The valves and fittings can be
described as an equivalent length of the same size pipe. For
example from the Crane Technical Paper #410 (page 10), a 90 degree
long radius (90) elbow has an equivalent length expressed in
length/diameter (L/D) = 20. This means multiplying the pipe
diameter in feet x 20 yields the equivalent fitting length (Le).
For each 6 (0. 5 ft.), 90 elbow, the Le = (0.5) (20) = 10 ft. [3.05
m]. For each 8 (0.667 ft) 90 elbow, the Le = (0.667) (20) = 13.33
ft [4.06 m]. For 10 (0.833 ft.) 90 elbow, the Le = (0.833) (20) =
16.7 or 17 ft. [5.18 m]. Since the Clarkson knife gate valve is
full port, its effect on pipeline length can be neglected. The
actual pipeline length is 160 ft. Add the equivalent fitting length
to get the total equivalent line length (TEL). For the 6" line, TEL
= 160 ft. + (2) 10 ft. = 180 ft. [54.86 m]. For the 8 line, TEL =
160 ft. + (2) 13.33 ft. = 187 ft. [57 m]. For the 10" line, TEL =
160 ft. + (2) 17 ft. = 194 ft. [59.13 m]. Using the friction Loss
Nomograph, page 9, the friction loss (f) for each line size and at
each flow volume can be

determined. For standard steel pipe C = 1 00. With the 6" line
(assuming 1/2 the total flow in each of 2 lines): At 870 gpm the
loss is 9.2 ft./100 ft. of pipe (180 ft.), or f = 17 ft. [5.18 m].
At 1160 gpm the loss is 15.5 ft/100 ft. (180 ft.), or f = 28 ft.
[8.53 m]. With the 8" line (again at 1/2 total flow): At 870 gpm
the loss is 2.3 ft./100 ft. (187 ft.), or f = 4.3 ft. [1.31 m]. At
1160 gpm the loss is 4.0 ft./100 ft. (187 ft.), or f = 7.5 ft.
[2.29 m]. With the 10" line (with, full flow in one line): At 1739
gpm the loss is 2.8 ft./100 ft. (194 ft), or f = 5.4 ft. [1.65 m].
At 2319 gpm the loss is 4.8 ft./100 ft. (194 ft.), or f = 9.3 ft.
[2.83 m]. 4. Plot the elevation head (h) and the friction loss (f)
curves, for each line size, on a linear graph of head vs. flow
(Graph #2). Because the friction loss at the maximum flowrate
condition of 1160 gpm is greater than the available static head,
the 6" line cannot carry the maximum required flowrate (see detail
A on Graph #2). Graph #3 (Page 10) is a replot of the same data
eliminating the 6" line. This graph shows the friction that the
CValve will need to add to the system at each flowrate to control
the flow. This is the vertical distance (in ft.) at each required
flowrate value, from the static elevation head line to the friction
curve for each pipeline.
For the 8" line: The pressure drop at 870 gpm is 20.8 ft. or 9
psid [62 KPaD]. At 1160 gpm, the pressure drop is 18.1 ft. or 7.9
psid [54.5 KPaD]. For the 10" line: The pressure drop at 1739 gpm
is 19.6 ft. or 8.5 psid [58.6 KPaD]. At 2319 gpm, the pressure drop
is 15.5 ft. or 6.7 psid [46.2 KPaD]. 5. To calculate the valve Cv
required, at each flow condition, use the equation: Cv In general,
Cv (max) and, Cv (min) For the 8" line: Cv (max) Cv (min) = = 1160
870 (1.44/7 .9) = 495 (1.44/9.0) = 348 = Q (min) [S.G./ P(max.)] =
Q (max) [S.G./ P(min.)] = (Q)(S.G./ P)
For the 10" line: Cv (max) Cv (min) = = 2319 1739 (1.44/6.7) =
1075 (1.44/8.5) = 716TVCRN-0207 Page 7

6. Since all the required information to select the pipeline
size and the C-Valve size has been determined, the next step is to
go to the Cv curves for each pipeline size and select the proper
valve and port size. The following criteria should be considered:
A. Choose a valve/port combination that does not approach either
end of the Cv curve, i.e. mid-range on the curve. B. The velocity
should be greater than 7 and less than 15 feet/sec. [greater than
2.1 and less than 4.6 m/s] if possible, to minimize pipeline
sanding and wear. C. Initial cost favors using the smallest valve.
D. One larger system may cost less than two smaller systems. E. For
future expansion, it may be desirable to select a large valve.
Based on all the above considerations, a reasonable selection would
be the single 10" pipeline size and the 8" C-Valve with the 8 x 6
reduced port sleeve. This combination has a minimum Cv of 324 and a
maximum Cv of 2450, which covers the required data range. If the
flow requirements change, we can readily install either an 8 x 4
reduced port, or an 8 x 8 full port sleeve.
Note: This example is calculated on the basis of water, even
though the actual media will be 50% solid slurry. The effect of
slurry varies greatly depending on many variables such as: material
properties, particle size distribution, temperature, viscosity,
etc. The slurry will likely cause an increase in the effective
static head, and also an increase in the friction head loss. Since
both these values increase, we can sometimes neglect them. If a
more precise calculation is required, the actual slurry should be
tested in a scale model piping system to determine the actual
rheological properties

Clarkson C-Valve Sizing GuideSizing Curves
The following pages contain the valve flow coefficient (Cv)
curves for most practical combinations of pipe size and valve
sizes. Where the valve body is smaller than the pipe size, the
effect of reducer friction has been included in the Cv curve value.
After the pipe size and the Cv range of the system have been
determined, select the valve and sleeve combination that fits
closest to the middle of the valve operating range. The flow
characteristic of the C-Valve product line ranges between linear
and modified linear. A linear characteristic can be obtained by the
use of a reduced port sleeve. The reduced port sleeve develops a
partial restriction to flow when in the wide-open position. Each
incremental change in the valve position produces proportional
change in flow, The full port sleeve produces a modified linear
characteristic in which the first 10 to 40 percent of valve closure
produces a small change in flow; then approaches, linear behavior
upon further closure. The lag in flow control is greatest when the
port size is equal to the pipe size and is desirable only when
large turn
down ratios are required. The Cv curves represent the
performance of each valve and sleeve combination up to the point of
incipient cavitation. The valve is capable of intermittent
operation in the cavitating condition and at differential pressures
up to 50 psid [344 KPaD]. Continuous cavitation should be avoided
as this leads to shorter sleeve life, higher pumping costs, and
less accurate flow control. Ideally, the piping system should be
designed so that the differential pressure across the valve is
minimized, particularly in larger valves. This can be accomplished
by applying the proper size pump to the system and avoiding very
long pipe runs. Usually, more than one valve and sleeve combination
will fit the sizing criteria above. The valve choice will then be
based on cost, desired flow characteristic, anticipated system
throughput changes, and accuracy of initial sizing data. A large
valve will cost more than the next smaller size valve with equal
flow capacity. The larger valve may offer more flexibility in
flowrates, more desirable flow control, and longer sleeve life.
