Forward flow testing for a BFP
So I guess what I'm looking for is a performance K factor.

Um, Ron? According to that chart a 2.5" angle
valve will flow 9.9gpm at 100psi. I don't
think that's quite in accordance with HW.
If you are flowing 250 through the valve at
100psi, it has a K of 25.0, no? But they can
flow more ... K at 350gpm/100psi would be 35 ... What are you trying to do?
