Valve Throughput Analysis


Description

Gas lift valve throughput calculations using the Thornhill-Craver equation. Determines gas flow rate through an orifice valve based on port size and pressure differential.

Parameters:

  • Cd: Discharge coefficient (typically 0.6-0.9)
  • Ap: Port area (in²)
  • P1: Upstream (casing) pressure (psia)
  • P2: Downstream (tubing) pressure (psia)
  • SG: Gas specific gravity (air = 1.0)
  • T: Gas temperature (°R)
