I have a 1000 WOG valve with ANSI 150 flanged ends and...
Hi,
Does anyone know of a calculation or 'rule of thumb' process for determining the breakaway torque of a ball valve? I am designing a class 1500 ball valve from scratch and am using ASME B16.34 2009 for body bolts, wall thickness and general design, but there seems to be nothing on stem...
Hi,

Are UNF threads acceptable for bolted body joints on ball valves per ASME B16.34? I note that some other standards state that coarse threads be used, but sometimes when running calculations per para 6.4.2 (a), just going to fine...
