What is the maximum flow rate for a DN15 needle valve? Urgent, need a solution!

As title
This flow rate is determined by the actual operating conditions on site; factors such as pressure, the type of medium (gas, vapor, or a mixture), the pressure difference before and after the valve, temperature, and density all play a role. It is only possible to calculate the CV value once detailed operational parameters are provided; otherwise, it is not possible to determine the valve size, and hence the maximum flow rate cannot be known.
Use the needle valve you have as a standard, connect it to a high-pressure medium pipeline, then install an appropriate flow meter downstream of the needle valve. Open the flow of the medium and turn the needle valve to its maximum position, and then take a measurement. The flow rate through a needle valve is related to the size and detailed structure of its spool, as well as the physical properties of the medium. There are no ready-made data; you need to measure it yourself to obtain the specific figures.
