Page 366 - The curve above shows that up to and including 25-percent overpressure, capacity is affected by the change in lift, the change in the orifice discharge coefficient, and the change in overpressure. Above 25 percent, capacity is affected only by the change in overpressure. Valves operating at low overpressures tend to chatter; therefore, overpressures of less than 10 percent should be avoided.
