    Calculation min. operating time butterflyvalve ?!?

    Who can help me? Look at the following formulas v = (354 * Q)/ DN^2 then Q = (v * DN^2) / 354 t = (5157 * Q ) / (DN^2 * dP) Added those formulas together i get; t = (14.56 * v)/ dP For liquids v is aprrox. 5m/s So the valve size is not a factor in closing time, only pressure?!? So the...

    PTFE Packing for Fugitive Emission control

    Use certified gland packings for example, tested in Stuttgart (VDI/VDE2440 / EN15848); 40 bar, 200°C, 1000 cycles - Burgermann 9650 T1 Even beter is gland packing set Burgermann 9650 T2 or T3 (9650 T3, 40 bar, 400°C, 1000 cycles) Maybe you can use this info!
