| F1 = The valve pressure recovery factor, a dimension less quantity. (Measured when valve is not choked.) | |

| The Vena Contracta is the place along the axis of flow, just beyond the orifice, where the jet steam contracts to its minimum cross-sectional area. Note: It is at this point that the velocity is at its highest, and the fluid pressure is at its lowest. | |
