INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS CONTROL VALVES –

Part 2-3: Flow capacity – Test procedures

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60534-2-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Measurement
and control devices, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control
and automation.
The third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997, of which it
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) Addition of informative Annexes B, C, D, E and F.
b) Organizational and formatting changes were made to group technically related subject
matter.

5 Test system
5.1 Test specimen
The test specimen is any valve or combination of valve, pipe reducer, and expander or other
devices attached to the valve body for which test data are required. See Annex A for
additional examples of test specimens representative of typical field installations.
Additional considerations apply when testing certain styles of high-capacity control valves,
e.g., ball or butterfly valves. These valves may produce free jets in the downstream test
section impacting the location of the pressure recovery zone. See Clause 6 for expected
accuracies.
Fractional C valves (valves where C << N ) are addressed in 8.1.2.
18
Physical or computer-based modelling of control valves as the basis for flow coefficient
determination is permissible but is outside the scope of this standard. When modelling, it is
incumbent on the practitioner to employ suitable modelling techniques to validate the model
and scaling relationships to actual flow data, and to document the nature of the model.
5.2 Test section
A basic flow test system is shown in Figure 1.
IEC

Figure 1 – Basic flow test system
The upstream and downstream piping adjacent to the test specimen should conform to the
nominal size of the test specimen connection and to the straight length requirements of
Figure 2. The inlet and outlet piping shall be suitable for the maximum respective pressures
that can be applied by the test system (Table B.3 provides data for commonly used pipe).

The inside diameter (ID) of the pipe normally should be within ± 2 % of the actual inside
2
diameter of the inlet and outlet of the test specimen for all valve sizes. As the C/d ratio (of
the test valve) increases, the mismatch in diameters becomes more problematic. Potential
pressure losses associated with the inlet and outlet joints become significant in comparison to
the loss associated the valve. Also, a significant discontinuity at the valve outlet could affect
the downstream (p ) pressure measurement. One indication of the significance of mismatched
2
diameters is the value of the piping geometry factor (F ) based on the internal diameters. This
P
value approaches unity for a standard test, i.e., for equal line and specimen inside diameters.
Therefore, to e
