I would suggest you to download and read Emerson's "Control Valve Handbook" and see how valve sizing is done in general, for various services: http://www.documenta.../book/cvh99.pdf

After going through the subject, you might be interested in using software for making the calculations faster:

Check the values/size given by HYSYS vs. the valve size as calculated per the references shown above. It's not a rocket science, and once when you complete several calculations by yourself you'll feel much more confident.

Best regards,
