I am really sorry for not making myself clear over the doubt.
For example
one ball valve with FC position
Torque
BTO 36000N.m
ETC 14400N.m
ETO 14400N.m
AST: 60000 N.m
AET: 18000 N.m
SST: 36000 N.m
SET:24000 n.m
if MAST value is 58584 N.m will the actuator work.
above is hypothetical data.
Hello Bcd,
Thanks for the reply. yes the MAST has to do with the actuator torque but my question is which of the torque should be considered AST, AET, SST & SET.
Also as seen my post, fail safe position plays a role.
if AST > MAST for fail safe close, then the actuator will work or not.
What is difference between Nominated Cv, rated Cv & Calculated Cv.
My understanding goes like this:-
Nominated Cv:The valve CV
Calculated Cv: the Cv based on the process parameters calculation
What is MAST value & how does it affect the actuator selection for ball & butterfly valves?
As per my understanding:
MAST: MAST(Maximum allowable stem shear torque).
hence while going for the actuator selection,one can summarized as below:-
Ball valves/ Butterfly valves:
Fail to close
BTO < AST...
