What is critical flow, and how is it different from choked flow? In this video, we break down these two often-confused concepts in simple terms and explain how they apply to control valves and the Kimray sizing calculator.

You’ll learn what causes critical flow, how it limits your valve’s capacity, and when lowering downstream pressure no longer increases flow rate. We’ll also cover how choked flow occurs in gas applications, the role of the critical flow factor (Cf), and why understanding these limits helps improve performance in oil and gas production.
