Features:

1. October 2022 Aerodynamic Noise Worksheet and Valve World magazine article Simple Excel Worksheet Predicts Control Valve Aerodynamic Noise by Jon F. Monsen, Ph.D., PE
2. September 2022 InTech Focus ebook Gas Compressibility Factor and Control Valve Sizing by Jon F. Monsen, Ph.D., PE
3. July 2022 Hydrodynamic Noise Worksheet and Valve World magazine article Excel Worksheet Predicts Control Valve Hydrodynamic Noise by Jon F. Monsen, Ph.D., PE
4. April 2022 Worksheet that performs a valve sizing calculation for liquid flow without requiring an iterative solution. The ISA and IEC control valve sizing standards list formulas for liquid valve sizing that require an iterative solution whenever pipe reducers are involved upstream and downstream of the control valve. An iterative solution is required because the valve flow capacity, Cv, is one of the parameters that goes into the formulas, but it is Cv that one needs to solve for. Jon Monsen's method is so simple that it can be completely described in a three page magazine article Simplified Methods for Liquid Control Valve Sizing and it gives the EXACT same results as an iterative solution.
5. October 2021 Worksheet that will calculate and graph control valve installed flow characteristic and installed gain, based on using the user’s preferred control valve sizing software. This is an enhanced version of the “Calculate and Graph Control Valve Installed Flow and Gain 2021 Worksheet" shown as list item 2 below. There are no errors in the item 2 version below, but enhancements were left out so it would fit into a magazine article. This one is a lot nicer and it also has a Read Me tab with instructions, and a tab with the article in Process Instrumentation magazine, and to an older article discussing installed gain.
6. 2021 Worksheet that will calculate and graph control valve installed flow characteristic and installed gain, based on using the user’s preferred control valve sizing software. Constructing and using the Excel sheet is discussed in the article Calculating the Installed Flow and Gain of a Control Valve in Process Instrumentation Magazine. Worksheet and article by Jon F. Monsen.
7. 2020 Worksheet offering an accurate and simple Control Valve Hydrodynamic Noise Calculation via a non IEC method. Worksheet by Jon F. Monsen and calculation method by Hans D. Baumann. Control valve noise prediction method discussed here in Valve World Magazine.
8. 2019 Full Function/Feature Control Valve Sizing Application Workbooks
   • Includes control valve sizing calculations in accordance with ISA/IEC standards and noise calculations in accordance with IEC standards.
   • Includes typical valve sizing and noise calculation parameters and typical tables of valve capacity (Cv) for a number of the most popular control valve styles. As such, many users will find them suitable for preliminary control valve selection. 
   • Posesses the rare ability to calculate and graph the installed flow characteristic and installed gain of a particular valve style and size in the system into which it is to be installed.
   • Built-in documentation.
   • Perform traditional Cv calculations.
   • Space for four simultaneous calculations.
   • Calculate required control valve capacity (Cv or Kv) for Minimum, Normal, Maximum and one additional flow condition.
   • Engineering units are by default set to US units, but can be easily changed to SI units. 
   • Comprehensive instructions.
   • Based on ANSI/ISA-75.01.01 (IEC 60534-2-1 Mod) -2012 "Flow Equations for Sizing Control Valves."
