Valve/ Actuator Torque Sizing Analysis Chart For Trunnion Ball Valves

This document provides sizing calculations for piston style scotch yoke actuators ranging from 2500Nm to 17000Nm that are spring return and set to close for trunnion ball valves. It lists the theoretical breakaway, running and end torques for opening and closing a 150NB 600CL ball valve and recommends an HD722SR80 actuator model. Safety factors and notes are included to account for factors like fluid properties, temperature, pressure and frequency of use that may increase actuator torque requirements above the theoretical values.

NOTES
No safety factor has been allowed in any valve or actuator torques shown. All torques are nett.
Above actuator is complete with bracket (ISO mounting) and high tensile stainless steel adaptor.
All value and actuator torque values published are theoretical, however where required we will torque test prior to despatch.
The real valve torque value can be higher depending upon the following listed factors as these factors can drastically increase (or decrease) the torque.
Please advise if any of the following factors are applicable. Approximate valve torque increases/ decreases (apply to safety factor accordingly) are:-
1) Fluid carrying dust, powder, abrasive particles (+50% to 125%). In extreme cases can be higher. i.e. Up to 200%
1a)   Slurry, pulp, resins, paste (+50%) can be even higher in some cases
2) Dry (clean) service (dry gas) (+25%)
3) High or low temperature (consult us)
4) Infrequent use (+30-50%) *1 - *2
5) If a higher minimum air supply than shown above is available more torque will be produced in the air operation phase.
6) Torque is based on a maximum Delta P for class. If your actual working pressure is lower please advise as a smaller actuator may be possible.
7) Lubricated service (clean oil or other high lubricity fluid) (+15%)
*1 PTFE/RPTFE seats can require more torque to unseat after a period of time due to its fluidity & memory. For Devlon/ Nylon Seat the valve torque is higher and PEEK is even
higher (of course we have factored into torque of valve where applicable), however as these are harder materials (especially PEEK) infrequent use has a lesser effect on the increase
in torque.
*2 Where set fail closed, an additional infrequent use safety factor at least needs to be applied to spring stroke torques (especially spring BTC if set fail closed or the spring BTO
if set fail open). Infrequent use:- Once per month +25%, once every 4 months +30%, once per month, over 4 months +40%.
Abbreviations:-
BTO = Break to open (air stroke) BTC = Break to close (spring stroke) MAST = Max stem torque
RTO = Running to open (air stroke) RTC = Running to close (spring stroke)
ETO = End to open (air stroke) ETC = End to close (spring stroke)
