Qw347X 10" DIB-I / Fully-Welded Fixed Trunnion Ball Valve

Fixed Trunnion Ball Valve Calculators

Seven independent calculation modules for fully-welded fixed trunnion ball valve (trunnion-mounted, lined seat) design verification per ASME B16.34, API 6D and the Valve Design Manual. Covers body wall thickness, DBB/DIB seat sealing, spring preload, stem torque, three-section stem strength, extrusion and bearing pressure with automatic PASS/FAIL verdicts.

Calculation Modules

🏗

Body Wall Thickness

ASME B16.34 App.F t = 1.5·Pc·(d/2)/(SF−0.6·Pc)

🔒

Seat Seal Pressure (DBB/DIB)

DBB sealing qMF ≤ q ≤ [q] with ring-area medium force

🔧

Seat Spring Preload

Spring preload QMY+FMM < Fn at 0.6 MPa condition

⚙

Stem Torque

M = MM+MC+Mu+MT+MO five-component total torque

📐

Stem Strength

Sections I/II/III torsion with 2× torque mode

🔨

Stem Extrusion

Stem head extrusion σZY = M1/(0.12(DT²−a²)h1)

⚖

Bearing Pressure

Bushing σY = π/8·DJH²·P/(dF·H) vs 180 MPa

Design Flow

Body & Seal

M1+M2: Body wall thickness and DBB/DIB seat sealing pressure

Preload & Torque

M3+M4: Spring preload adequacy and total stem torque

Stem Strength

M5: Three-section torsional stress with API 6D factor

Local Checks

M6+M7: Stem head extrusion and bearing bushing pressure
