  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-001472",
  "term": "Flow coefficient, Cv",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A measure of the flow capacity of a valve or other fluid component, representing the volume of water at 60°F that will flow through a fully open valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi. A higher Cv value indicates a greater flow capacity for a given pressure differential. This coefficient is used in sizing valves for specific applications to achieve desired flow rates.",
