Abstract: “VARC – Valve Representative Coefficients” is a PC-based package developed to assist users in analysing and comparing valves as elements alone. It is a supporting tool for managing an extensive collection of files containing data on the dissipative characteristics of valves gathered from the current literature. Values are recorded to text files in the form of the distinction coefficient and can be displayed both according to this parameter and in terms of the loss coefficient.
