Determining Thrust, Torque and Rimpull
The three major forces involved in valve actuation are thrust, torque
and rimpull. Below is a brief description and formula used to
determine each of the three forces for a particular valve application.
See pages 3 through 7 for reference data to be used with Pacific
gate, globe and stop-check valves to determine thrust, torque and
rimpull for a particular application. These pages also show torque
for differential pressures at full and half maximum cold working
pressure for carbon steel valves.
Thrust is the purely linear push-pull force involved in seating and
unseating a valve. It is determined using the following valve and
application criteria:
A The valve seat diameter.
If the valve seat diameter is not known, the
port diameter can be assumed to be the seat
diameter for estimating purposes.
B The maximum differential pressure across the valve seat.
The most common method of determining
maximum differential pressure across the valve
seats is to assign the maximum design or
operating pressure the upstream value P1 and
assume a downstream pressure P2 of 0 PSIG.
C The valve stem diameter.
These criteria are used in the thrust calculation which is the sum of
the following forces. Unit of measure is Ibs. of thrust.
Torque is a rotary force. For gate and globe valve applications

which have acme threaded rising stems driven by a drive nut, torque
is conversion of thrust from a purely linear force, utilizing the
mechanical advantage of a screw to achieve linear movement. The
stem factor used to convert thrust to torque is a function of the acme
thread characteristics of the valve stem and drive nut (yokesleeve).
Pages AA-3 thru AA-7 contain stem factors for Pacific gate, globe
and stop-check valves. Once seating or unseating thrust has been
calculated, the torque can be obtained by the formula:
Torque = Thrust x Stem factor
*Example: 6" 150 Ib. Gate valve
Thrust = 2072.2
Stem factor = .0099
Torque = 2072.2 x .0099 = 20.5 ft. Ibs.
1. Seating Force = Valve seat area x Max differential

Pressure x Valve factor
Where: Valve seat area = (Seat dia)2 x 3.14
4
Max. differential Pressure = P1- P2
Valve factor = .25 Parallel seat
.3 Gate valve
1.1 Globe valve
2. Stem Load = Valve stem area x Max. upstream pressure
Where: Valve stem area = (Stem Dia)2 x 3.14
4
Max upstream Pressure = P1
Note that stem load is applicable to gate valves only as this force is
included in the seating force of globe and stop-check valves.
3. Stem Packing Friction = Stem diameter x 2000 for graphite.
* Example - 6" 150 Ib. gate valve, seat diameter 6", stem diameter 118",
maximum differential pressure 100 PSIG.
1 - Seating force = 28.26 x 100 x .3 = 847.8 lbs.
Where: Seat area = (6)2 x 3.14
4
2 - Stem load = .994 x 100 = 99.4 lbs.
Where Stem area = (1.125)2 x 3.14
4
3 - Stem packing friction = 1.125 x 1000 = 1125
Thrust to seat or unseat = 847.8 + 99.4 + 1125 = 2072.2 Ibs.
Valve running thrust which represents 90% of the travel of the valve stem
can be determined by adding stem load and stem packing friction.
PVAA-0198 Rev. 4

Valve running torque can be calculated utilizing the above formula

substituting running thrust for seating thrust.
Rimpull is the force which must be applied to the rim of the
handwheel during operation of the valve. Rimpull is calculated using
torque. The following information is required to calculate handwheel
rimpull:
A.
B.
Torque required to seat or unseat valve

Handwheel diameter
Rimpull = Torque Radius of the handwheel
measured in feet
Where: The radius of the handwheel =
Handwheel Dia. in inches
2
The radius is converted to feet = Radius
12
*Example: 6"150 Ib. Gate

Seating or unseating torque = 20.5 ft. Ibs.
Handwheel diameter = 14"
Rimpull = 20.5 .583 = 35.2 lbs.
Where: 14 = 7 = (Radius in inches)
2
7
12 = .583 (Radius in feet) = 35.2 Ibs.
Running rimpull can be calculated by substituting running for
seating/unseating torque.

Bevel Gear Actuators
Bevel Gear Actuators
Handwheel Orientation
Many applications require gate, globe and stop-check valves to

use gearing to reduce the hand wheel rimpull and thus allow one
man to manually seat or unseat the valve. See page 2 for definition
and calculation of rimpull. Standard gear actuators are sized to
seat or unseat the valve with a rimpull requirement of less than 250
Ibs. Unless otherwise specified the maximum differential
pressure is assumed to 1/2 of the ANSI B16.34 cold working
pressure for the rated class.
When the actual maximum differential pressure is known, or a
maximum rimpull is specified which is less than 250Ibs, this
information should be provided in your Request for Quotation. The
information required to permit custom size gearing is as follows:
Possible handwheel orientations are shown in the figure to the right

below. Spur gear (SGA) or compound bevel gear (BGA) attachments can be provided in any position shown in Figure 1. Typical
configurations are shown in Figure 2.

Bevel gears are sized to meet specific rimpull forces required to

operate a valve based on the service conditions, particularly the
maximum differential pressure. The following calculations are
used in the selection of a bevel gear for a specific application.
1. Calculate seating/unseating torque for valve. (See page 2).
2. Using the maximum thrust and maximum torque from Table 1
select the smallest bevel gear which can meet the seating/
unseating torque requirement calculated in Step 1.
3. Divide the torque value from Step 1 by the mechanical advantage (ratio times efficiency) for the gear selected in Step 2. The
result is the torque at the shaft of the gear. This must be less
than 1.5 times the desired rimpull. If it is not, a spur gear
attachment (SGA) can be added or another gear type can be
selected.
4. Using the torque calculation from Step 3 select from Table 2 the
smallest handwheel diameter which will meet the rimpull
requirement.
To determine the mechanical advantage of a bevel gear unit with
a SGA, multiply the mechanical advantage of the base unit times
the mechanical advantage of the SGA (ratio x efficiency of base
unit) x (ratio x efficiency of the SGA).

Example: 12" 600 Ib. gate valve with graphitic packing at 740
psi. Rimpull requirement 150 Ibs. maximum.
Step 1 = Seating/unseating thrust 30396.36 Ibs.;
torque = 471.14 ft. Ibs.
Step 2 = Select a base unit. (B320-20 w/3:1 ratio)
Step 3 = Torque/Mechanical advantage =471.14/(3.0x0.90)
= 471.14/2.7 =174.5 ft. Ibs.
174.5 = torque at shaft of gear.
Step 4 = Rimpull = torque/handwheel radius =174.5/1.25
= 139.6 Rimpull.
Selected gear=B320-20 w/3:1 ratio using a 30" handwheel.
Rules of Thumb for Bevel Gearing
1. Check the rimpull on 12" and larger 150 Ib. gate valves, 10"
and larger 300 Ib. gate valves, 8" and larger 600 Ib. gate
valves; all globe, stop-check and nonreturn valves; and all
gate valves Class 900 and higher to insure that one man
could seat or unseat the valve under the actual site line
conditions.
2. On the average, operators should be capable of lifting their
own weight, using this as a guide maximum rimpull can be
estimated, ie; a 175 Ib. man should be able to handle a
seating rimpull up to about 175 Ibs. Rimpulls are often
specified much lower to avoid operator strain and possible
injury.
3. Low rimpull requirements often result in the selection of
bevel gears with high gear ratios. This can result in high
operating times due to the number of turns needed to cycle
the valve. Keep this in mind when specifying a maximum
rimpull.
4. Air wrench operation speeds up cycle time on high gear ratio
bevel gears however, the mechanical advantage available
from bevel gearing enables the operator to damage the
valve. Never seat or back seat the valve using an air wrench;
manually seat and back seat the valves with caution, especially when equipped with bevel gears.


Bevel Gear Dimensions
Envelope dimensions (centerline-to-top
open) for Pacific valves furnished with
bevel gears can be estimated from the
following data. These dimensions are for
estimating purposes and can not be used
for construction.
Note that many Pacific pressure seal valves
are furnished with bevel gear actuators as
standard. Refer to the envelope dimensions in the Pressure Seal section for
specific sizes. Use the following to estimate dimensions for all bolted bonnet and
pressure seal valves that are not normally
furnished with bevel gears.
To estimate envelope dimensions:
1. Determine the actuator size needed
based on the torque required for operating conditions. Refer to page 9 for
bevel gear sizing.
2. Determine dimensions A and B from the

table below for the actuator selected in
Step 1.
3. Add the B dimension shown below plus
1/2 the handwheel diameter to the
centerline-to-top closed dimension
listed in the appropriate valve section.
(Notefor pressure seal valves that are
not normally furnished with bevel gears,
deduct 90% of the nominal valve size in
inches from the centerline-to-top open
dimensions to estimate the centerlineto-top closed dimension).
The following dimensions are based on

Limitorque B320 actuators. Use of other
actuators may require the use of mounting
adapter plates that could increase the overall valve-actuator height, contact factory before using dimensions for other actuators.
In most cases height will be 1 to 2 inches
less than determined using the above
method as it ignores the height of the stem
above the top of the yoke. Many actuators
can be mounted directly to the top of the
yoke, however, some sizes require the use
of mounting adapter plates. If adapter plates
are required they will fit within this space.
4. Compare the centerline-to-top open

dimension listed in the appropriate valve
section to the result of Step 3. The largest dimension will determine the size of
the operating envelope needed.

Remote Actuators
Remote Actuators
Motor Actuators
In many applications, operation of valves

may require the use of electric, pneumatic
or hydraulic actuators. Such applications
include those where the valve (1) is too
large or has too high a differential shut-off
pressure for manual operation; (2) is not
accessible for manual operation; (3) is part
of a system requiring simultaneous operation of many valves; (4) must be triggered
from a remote location, as is often essential
for emergency shut-off in hazardous areas.
Motor actuators for rising stem valves can be powered by air, gas, hydraulic or electric
power. The most common method of actuation is the electric motor actuator, as it is
generally the most cost effective.
We will gladly furnish any type or make of

actuator you specify, or make recommendations for your particular service conditions. All Pacific gate, globe and non-return
valves can be supplied with electric, air,
gas or hydraulic driven motor actuators or
cylinder actuators.
Electric motor actuated valves can be provided to meet the broadest range of requirements
including operating cycle time, use of integral or remote controls, starters and indicators,
and a wide range of power sources. They are less readily adaptable to fail-safe operation
than cylinder actuators because they generally require more stored energy.
Air motor actuators are often specified in very hazardous locations where electric power
is not available or permitted. The major disadvantage of this type of actuator is air
consumption, particularly when applied to large valves. The combination of high gear ratio
and long stroke can drain an entire air system unless the air supply system is specially
designed to accommodate this type of actuator. Like electric motor actuators, these are
not readily adaptable for a fail-safe mode.

Remote Actuators
Cylinder Actuators
Air or gas cylinder actuators include single or double acting, fail open
or closed by mechanical spring or pneumatic force. They can be
manufactured to accommodate any length stroke. The limitations of
air cylinder actuators are mechanical spring limits and thrust requirements in excess of 75,000 Ibs. Mechanical springs used with
air cylinders can be sized for up to 20,000 Ibs. of thrust and have a
stroke limit of about 14" max. depending on thrust output required.
In applications where mechanical springs can not be used, a
pneumatic spring provided with stored air pressure is capable of
providing a fail safe mode. Thrust requirements up to 25,000 Ibs. can
be accommodated with standard bore size cylinders assuming

minimum 80 PSIG field air supply. Thrust requirements between
25,000 Ibs. and 75,000 Ibs. can be accommodated by boosting or
intensifying field air pressure to a higher working pressure for the
cylinder and stored locally in a high pressure air tank.
Hydraulic systems are better suited and more economical for thrust
requirements over 75,000 Ibs. Cylinder actuators can be provided
with manual overrides for emergency valve actuation, fail safe mode
and other accessories.
Diaphragm Actuators
Diaphragm actuators available are: double acting (air pressure
required open or close), direct acting (air pressure required to close,
mechanical spring to open) or reverse acting (mechanical spring to
close, air pressure required to open).
This very simple and very economical actuator has application
limitations. The first limitation is stroke; a 4" stroke is the longest
available from most manufacturers. This limits adaptable valve size
to gate valves 4" and smaller and globe valves in smaller sizes. The
second limitation is output thrust, this is the major constraint in

selecting this type of actuator for use with our unbalanced plug globe
valves. Most manufacturers can provide diaphragm areas up to 200
square inches, however, maximum air pressure allowed for actuation decreases. Maximum air pressures are as low as 45 PSIG for
large area diaphragms available from most major manufacturers
thus limiting thrust output. Manual override handwheels are available as an option.

Impact Handwheel Adapters and Locking Devices
Typical Interlock Lock Mounting
Locking Devices and Interlocks

Increased security concerns and critical sequencing of processes have prompted the use of locking devices and interlocks
for valves. While the most basic of locking devices is the chain
and padlock, complex process plants are more frequently
utilizing key interlock systems. Interlock systems are used on
valves when sequencing of valve operation is critical to the
safety of plant personnel, process unit operation or the environment. Interlocks are provided with keys which are released only
under specific conditions such as when the valve is fully open.
Once the key is released it can be used to open the next valve
in sequence. For further detailed information, you may contact
the Interlock Manufacturers.

By-Passes
By-Passes
By-passes serve two purposes. First, they are used in steam service
to warm-up the line before the main valve is opened. Second, they
are used on steam and other lines to balance the pressure on both
sides of the main valve wedge or disc to aid in opening a large valve.
Gate valve by-passes shall be regularly attached to the side of the

main valve with the stems of both valves parallel and pointing
upward (between locations A & B).
Pacific valves can be furnished with all welded-on by-passes when

specified. By-passes are equipped with a single OS&Y globe valve
with a pressure/temperature rating and corrosion resistance equal
to or exceeding that of the main valve.
Globe valve by-passes shall be regularly attached to the right side

of the main valve with the stems of valve parallel and pointing
upward. The right side of the globe valve is the side at the right when
facing the flow port which leads to the underside of the disc
(between location E & F).
