Disc thickness in butterfly valve
(OP)
Hi Experts,
Is there any standard for disc thickness in butterfly valves? If not, how can it be calculated?

Why are you asking this question?
Are you trying to build your own Butterfly Valve?
Have you tried "Google"?
Try here: https://www.google.com/#q=butterfly+valve+disc+thi...
or
Here: www.ijmer.com/papers/Vol4_Issue6/Version-6/IJMER-4...
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

A friend of mine once got an A+ grade at an oral examination being asked how a certain technical construction should be calculated.
The professor expected the answer to be referring to a complicated mathematical nomogram developed and presented during his lessons, but my friends answer was: 'The construction should be calculated to bear the load it was intended to take'. The professors reaction: 'Excellent!'.
And isn't this true for every construction?
RE: Disc thickness in butterfly valve
On the jimer document, there is a formula had been given for the disc thickness on butterfly valves. Actually, it seems mental but there is no reference was given for that formula. We need to have the source. If anyone have this kind of information, could you provide us, please?
BTW, It is not for an aim, just for general information.
Thanks,

I have designed valves with hand calculations but had to have a conservative assumptions and ended up with a thick disk that left not much hole.
