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.
