Flange thickness for MOV (Motor Operated Valve)
Flange thickness for MOV (Motor Operated Valve)
(OP)
I need to determine the appropriate thickness for an FA16 flange for mounting an electric actuator capable of 740 ft-lbs of torque. I've measured cast flanges on Velan valves at 1.25". I've got a supplier who say's 1" is adequate when welded
I've established my preliminary standards based upon Manufacturer's Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings MSS SP-101-1989 and MSS SP-102-1989 documents. While providing critical info, there are no specifications for flange thickness.
Thanks
Joe

I'm a newbie to mechanical, coming from a programming/instrumentation background. I'm not familiar with FEA. What is it?
Are there any resource you can suggest to get me up to speed?
