4、ervice of ISA, the international society for measurement and control, toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be static but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms and a

5、sks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone: (919) 990-9227; Fax: (919) 549-8288; e-mail: standardsisa.org.The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for

6、 attention to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards of incorporating

7、 suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards to the greatest extent possible. The Metric Practice Guide,

8、 which has been published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as ANSI/IEEE Std. 268-1992, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.CAUTION: The information presented within this ISA Recommended Practice is

9、believed to be accurate and reflects the current state of knowledge within the field. The information is an interpretation and condensation of a large volume of literature and experience, some of which is contradictory and speculative. Therefore, application of the information to particular situatio

10、ns requires the exercise of the independent professional judgement of the user. ISA is not responsible for any results from such use of the information and shall not be liable for any damages caused by such use.It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned indiv

14、s of liquid flow noise measurement and prediction may be found in standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission, CEI/IEC documents 534-8-2 and 534-8-4. The relationship between cavitation parameters used in this recommended practice and those of the IEC documents is discussed in Annex B

15、.2 PurposeCavitation as an applied science has not evolved to the highly refined level of that supporting the more traditional control valve sizing calculations. However, there is a great need by users and manufacturers alike for practical information in this area. The purpose of this document is to

16、 supply that information, and to that end it is necessarily broad in scope. It embodies several objectives:a) to provide educational material in a background section that condenses the literature and educates the reader in state-of-the-art valve cavitation knowledge and practice;b) to establish a ba

17、sis for communication by defining cavitation parameters and nomenclature;c) to propose methods for evaluating the cavitation characteristics of individual control valves through testing procedures and application experience; andd) to offer guidelines for selecting control valves for given applicatio

18、ns.ISA Subcommittee SP75.16 recognizes that the science of cavitation is in its infancy in terms of defining the behavior of cavitation in complex valve geometry. The final objective of this recommended practice is to promote additional research and testing. Subsequently, this practice can serve as

19、a starting point for those seeking to advance the state of the art.10 ISA-RP75.23-19953 Definition of termsTerms used are per ISA-S75.05 and additional terms as follows:3.1 cavitation: A two-stage process associated with the flow of liquids. The first stage involves the formation of vapor cavities o

20、r bubbles in the flow stream as a result of the local static pressure in the flow stream dropping below the liquid vapor pressure. The second stage of the process is the subsequent collapse or implosion of the vapor cavities back to the liquid state when the local static pressure again becomes great

21、er than the fluid vapor pressure. (The evaluation of “gaseous“ cavitation, i.e. the sudden dissolution of dissolved gases in a liquid, is not currently within the scope of this document.)3.2 cavitation coefficient: A characteristic number for (e.g., i, c, mv, id, ch), determined for a given valve, v

22、alve opening, and pressure conditions, which corresponds to the numerical value of the cavitation index at which the levels of incipient cavitation, constant cavitation, maximum vibration cavitation, incipient damage, and choking cavitation occur.3.3 cavitation index: The value for the operating ser

23、vice conditions of a valve, expressed as and numerically equal to (P1- Pv)/(P1- P2).3.4 cavitation level: The degree to which cavitation is occurring, i.e., incipient, constant, in-cipient damage, choking, or maximum vibration. Levels can be determined by testing for vibration, pitting or metal loss

24、, and changes in valve capacity (Cv).3.5 choking cavitation: A limiting flow condition in which vapor formation is enough to limit the rate of flow through the valve to some maximum value. Further increases in flow rate through the valve are only possible by increasing the valve inlet pressure, beca

25、use reducing downstream pressure will no longer increase flow rate.3.6 constant cavitation: An early level of cavitation characterized by mild, steady popping or crackling sounds that may be audible or detected by vibration measurements. It is the next higher inflection point on the cavitation profi

26、le above the point of incipient cavitation. (See Figure 1.) This level is represented by the constant cavitation coefficient c.3.7 duty cycle: The ratio of the amount of time a valve spends performing one particular function to the valves total installed time period. It may be expressed as a percent

27、age of total time (service time vs. installed time).3.8 flashing: A flow condition in which vapor pockets formed inside a valve persist downstream of the valve because the valve outlet pressure is at or below the fluid vapor pressure.3.9 flow separation: A flow condition in which the fluid boundary

28、layer flows away from the boundary wall instead of flowing along the wall. A turbulent wake exists downstream of the point of flow separation that is characterized by the presence of vortices. These vortices contain regions of high local fluid velocities and hence low, local pressures. The areas of

29、low pressure are potential sites for vapor formation.ISA-RP75.23-1995 11Figure 1 Cavitation parameter plot NOTE This is a classical curve illustrating acceleration versus sigma. Tested valves may not result in this specific configuration or exhibit all the inflection points or coefficients shown abo

30、ve. Test data are subject to expert interpretation.12 ISA-RP75.23-19953.10 incipient cavitation: The onset of cavitation, where only small vapor bubbles are formed in the flow stream. (See Figure 1.) This level is represented by the incipient cavitation coefficient ior 1/xFz.3.11 incipient damage: A

31、 cavitation level sufficient to begin minor, observable indications of pitting damage. (This is not to be confused with incipient cavitation. See 3.10.)3.12 influences: Factors or effects that change the damage rate or extent of damage but do not change the numerical value of cavitation coefficients

32、. See Figure B.2.3.13 manufacturers recommended cavitation limit: An operational limit expressed as a cav-itation coefficient mrsupplied by the valve manufacturer for a given valve type, size, opening, and reference upstream pressure. Application of the limit may require scale effect and influence f

33、actors if the service conditions and valve size are different than for the reference pressure and size.3.14 maximum vibration cavitation: The level of cavitation associated with peak vibration measurements and determined from a cavitation level plot at the peak separating Regime III and Regime IV. T

34、he test conditions at this point define the conditions for calculating the valve cavitation coefficient mv. See Figure 1.3.15 pressure recovery: The increase in fluid static pressure that occurs as fluid moves through a valve from the vena contracta to the valves outlet and downstream piping. The re

35、covery, which may be expressed as the difference P2- Pvc, is caused by the velocity-reducing, diffusing action of the downstream geometry.3.16 scale effects: Differences in cavitation coefficients occurring between the flow test condi-tions and actual valve operating conditions. These scale effects

36、result from differences in valve size and operating pressures. Scaling equations are used to modify the reference values of cavitation coefficients supplied by valve manufacturers in order to evaluate equipment at other than reference conditions. See Figure B.1.3.17 vapor pressure: The pressure, for

37、 a specified fluid temperature, at which both the liquid and vapor phases of a fluid exist in equilibrium. The vapor pressure is more commonly thought of as the thermodynamic saturation pressure. 3.18 vena contracta: The minimum area of a flow stream. It is smaller than the area causing the flow con

38、striction, because the streamlines continue to converge for a short distance beyond the constriction. Average flow velocity is highest and mean static pressure is lowest in the vena contracta. However, local vortex pressures in separation regions and turbulent boundary layers can be lower than the v

39、ena contracta pressure.4 NomenclatureNomenclature used is per ANSI/ISA S75.01 and additionally as follows:a Empirical characteristic exponent for calculating PSEb A characteristic exponent for calculating SSE; determined from reference valve data for geometrically similar valves.ISA-RP75.23-1995 13C
