150LB Butterfly Valve Seal Pressure

Why This Calculator

Dual-Force Synthesis

Total sealing force QMZ = QMJ + QMF combining design and must-seal pressure.

Specific Pressure Check

Verifies qMF ≤ q ≤ [q] per Valve Design Manual criteria.

D507 Seal Face

Designed for metal seal face with D507 contact width verification.

Auto Pass/Fail

Instant judgment on sealing pressure adequacy.

Must-Be + Design

Separate must-seal and design pressure force contributions.

Instant Verification

Real-time calculation with no page reload required.

How It Works

Enter Seal Dimensions

Input seal face mean diameter DMN and width bM.

Set Pressures

Input design pressure force QMJ and must-seal pressure qMF.

Calculate Forces

Compute total force QMZ and specific pressure q.

Verify Range

Check qMF ≤ q ≤ [q] for proper sealing.
