150LB Butterfly Valve Disc Section A-A

Why This Calculator

Section A-A Analysis

Bending stress at critical section through stem bores.

Bending Moment

MA = P*D2^3/12 computed from pressure and disc geometry.

Section Modulus

WA = JA/(b/2) with composite section inertia calculation.

Stem Bore Geometry

Accounts for L1, L2 segment lengths and d1, d2 bore diameters.

Auto Pass/Fail

Instant judgment: σWA vs. allowable [σW].

Instant Verification

Real-time calculation with no page reload required.

How It Works

Enter Pressure

Input design pressure P and disc outer diameter D2.

Set Geometry

Input segment lengths L1, L2 and section width b.

Define Bores

Input stem bore diameters d1 and d2.

Verify Stress

Compare σWA to allowable stress [σW].
