TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

INTRODUCTION The torque needed to turn a ball valve varies throughout its 90o travel. The five basic torque requirements are: T1 Unseating or Break-out Torque The torque required to unseat the closed valve. Graphical data on the following sheets show the unseating torques for valves having Virgin PTFE seats on applications using clean liquids between 0oC and 100oC. For other seat materials and applications, the K factors listed should be applied. T2 Seat or Break-in Torque The seating torque should be taken as 70% of the unseating torque. T3 Running Torque The torque needed to keep the ball moving through its travel. For Series 110, the running torque should be taken as 50% of the breakout torque. For Series 200, the running torque should be taken as 40% of the breakout torque. T4 Opening Torque The torque needed to move the valve to the fully open position. For Series 110, the opening torque should be taken as 70% of the breakout torque. For Series 200, the opening torque should be taken as 50% of the breakout torque. T5 Open Break-out Torque The torque required to move the valve from the fully open position. For Series 110, the open break-out torque should be taken as 70% of the break-out torque. For Series 200, the open breakout torque should be taken as 65% of the breakout torque, but not less than the breakout torque at zero psi g.

ACTUATOR SELECTION Actuators must be sized to have a torque equal to, or greater than, the required valve torques which apply to seating, unseating and opening the valve. With spring return actuators, it is important to know whether 'spring to open' or 'spring to close' is required and note also that the torque available varies with travel. TORQUE GRAPH DATA TG The Torque Graph data (TG) gives the unseating or break-out torque for valves fitted with Virgin PTFE seats in frequent use with clean liquids between 0oC and 100oC. The K factors given below should be applied to the graph values when different seat material and service conditions are taken into account to obtain the actual operating torques (Ta). i.e. Ta = TG x K VALVE K FACTORS Seat Materials a) b) c) d) 25% glass filled PTFE 25% carbon graphite filled PTFE Carbon filled PEEK PCTFE (KEL-F) K K K K = 1.25 = 1.25 = 1.5 = 2.0

Note: Tests carried out by BP have shown that the operating torque of a floating ball valve fitted with virgin and filled PTFE seats can increase by as much as 250% when the fluid carries small, hard abrasive particles at high velocity. Predicting reliable operating torques for this service is therefore extremely difficult. The Sales Engineer should make the customer aware of this fact. If the summation of K factors exceeds the maximum permissible torque (sheet 6), consult Hindles Engineering Department.

OPERATING TORQUE AT LOW AND ELEVATED TEMPERATURE Table 1 on sheet 5 gives operating torques for temperatures between 0oC to +200oC. For service temperatures above or below this range, the torque should be corrected as shown below, see also sheet 6. Actual torque = graph torque x KT Where KT = temperature factor For actuated valves below -100oC assume KT value for -100oC MAXIMUM PERMISIBLE TORQUES Having obtained operating torque, it is necessary to check that the torque is less than the maximum permissible torque listed on sheet 6. Important Note: For ESD Valves see Section 17.1
