BERMAD Sizing

Proper valve sizing plays a crucial role in the design of water supply and irrigation systems. Accurate sizing is essential for achieving optimal efficiency, stable operation, and long-term system and valve performance. BERMAD Sizing has become one of the most valuable tools for designers, based on BERMAD’s decades of expertise. Its advanced algorithm integrates a wide range of hydraulic calculations and formulas to simulate real-world operating conditions, including variations in pressure and flow. By doing so, BERMAD Sizing evaluates and predicts the load and performance of hydraulic control valves at different system conditions.

What is BERMAD Sizing?

BERMAD’s Sizing optimizes the selection and sizing of BERMAD valves according to the specific operating conditions of a customer’s system. Its calculations are powered by advanced algorithms based on widely accepted sizing methodologies- such as the ISA-75.01 guidelines from the International Society of Automation, along with hydraulic formulas and decades of BERMAD’s engineering experience.

BERMAD Sizing supports accurate valve selection by allowing users to input up to three regulation scenarios simultaneously. It then performs the necessary calculations and presents the results on a single screen in both numerical and graphical formats.

Sizing recommendations based on international standards provide a cost-effective approach by selecting the appropriate valve size according to operation conditions, referring to the ratio between the required flow coefficient (Kv) to the valve flow coefficient (Kv).

However, this basic guideline does not account for important factors such as cavitation resistance, valve travel, flow velocities, noise, hydraulic load, operating duration and more. BERMAD’s proprietary formulas incorporate all these parameters, and BERMAD Sizing integrates them into its sizing calculations results. BERMAD Sizing concludes the process by generating a detailed report summarizing sizing recommendations.
