    How to calculate Gate valve closing time using an Hydraulic actuator?

    Thank you gerhardl and terje61 for sharing your wisdom. I truly appreciate your time. terje61: The information that I have currently is, 207 bar comes from a hydraulic supply. I don't have anymore details. You all have a great weekend and happy July 4th if you are in USA. Regards, Suresh

    How to calculate Gate valve closing time using an Hydraulic actuator?

    Gerhardl, Thank you for your response and providing me with some insight on the principle.I truly appreciate it.I should have provided more specific information earlier,my appologies. The valve in discussion is mounted on a well head tree and carries well fluid.I have the force exerted by the...

    Pros & Cons of General purpose & Stub ACME

    I would like to know the pros and cons of General purpose & Stub ACME thread.Is one better than the other in terms of functionality or strength? I was able to obtain equations for General purpose ACME thread, Shear Area and Stress Area calculation.Will the same equation be applicable for Stub...

    Calculating pressure drop across Valve

    I just noticed that some of the characters are not displayed properly in my previous message.So i modified it: Pd = L (l / dh) (d v^2 / 2) Where Pd = pressure loss (Pa, N/m2) – Multiply by 0.000145 to arrive at psi. L = D'Arcy-Weisbach friction coefficient – For example use 0.019 l = length of...

    Calculating pressure drop across Valve

    Here is something that i had put together,see if this helps.This should be applicable to find the pressure drop accross the Gate/Sulice valve too. The pressure loss (or pressure drop) in a pipe, tube or duct can be expressed with the D'Arcy-Weisbach equation. ?p = ? (l / dh) (? v2 / 2) Where ?p...
