Inherent characteristic
Typical Control Valve Inherent Characteristic Curves
The most common characteristic curves
are the quick opening, linear, and
equal percentage curves. Valve
manufactures can also design valves
with modified linear, modified equal
percentage, parabolic, and square root
characteristics, as shown in the graph.

Inherent characteristic
The CV of the valve at each position will not change
when installed in an actual system. However, the
installed characteristic curve of valve position vs.
percent of maximum flow rate will be different than
the inherent characteristic curve because the
differential pressure across the valve will change with a
change in valve position. How the curve shifts is
determined by the shape of the pump curve and the
amount of static head in the system.

Inherent characteristic
Typical piping system
It can be used to show how the inherent
curve is changed by installing the valve
in an actual system and to create an
installed characteristic curve for a
control valve.
Consider the typical piping system in
Figure consisting of a Supply Tank,
Pump, Flow Control Valve (FCV), Heat
Exchanger (HX), and a Product Tank. The
pump curve has been specified for the
pump and CV data has been entered
for the FCV with an equal percentage
characteristic and a maximum CV of 225.

Inherent characteristic
The installed characteristic curve for the FCV is obtained by giving the FCV a manual position from
5% to 100% and entering the resulting flow rates into an Excel spreadsheet, calculating the
percentage of maximum flow rate and graphing the result.
