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.
