We want to calculate the Torque/Thrust required for opening/closing of the Damper/Gate.

The data available with us

1. area of the damper/gate in Sq.mm

2. Opeating pressure in mm water col. (g)

3. operating temperature in Deg. C

The damper is multi louver type used for reguating purpose and orientation is vertical.

The gate is sliding type used for isolation purpose and orientation is horizontal.

Kindly help me how to calculate torque/thrust required so that proper power cylinder can be selected.
