I have come across a calculation for finding closing time of check valve using vendor curves & is attached below. The URL from which it's taken is also mentioned but the units are ambiguous in the said URL so I tidy-up a bit
What I cannot understand is the yellow highlighted formula for calculating closing time of check valve, especially what the author terms as Initial Time of Flow Decay
I be very thankful if someone can assist especially if someone has examples (like this) for calculating closing time of check valves using vendor data in an alternative manner
