General vocabulary of the valve industry
Abrasion
wear mechanism between two or more materials
DN (diameter nominal)
nominal diameter of a valve
Pneumatically operated
operated by an external medium, mostly pressurized air
KV-value
the flow coefficient of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice, valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate.
Leakage
valve is untight
Leakage rate
measure for volume or mass unit escaping from a body
Medium
fluid e.g. gas
Clean room
sterile room free of particles installed in production areas e.g. for mounting of oxygen valves. It complies with the requirements of cleanliness Class ISO 7 according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1.
