Calculation Modules

🔧

Body Wall Thickness

ASME B16.34 + BS EN 12516-1 dual method: t1' = 0.020·d+4.50 and (Pc·d)/(2S-1.2Pc)+C

⚙️

Plug Circumferential Force

MF = MI+MT+MJ total torque and QS handle effort per API 6D 360 N limit

🔩

Plug Head Strength

Ws=β·a³ section modulus, τN and 2× torque verification vs 0.8·Sm / 0.6·Sm

🔩

Middle Flange Bolt Strength

σL=QL/SL with QL=max(Q',Q'') per Practical Valve Design Manual

🌊

Flow Coefficient KV

IEC 60534-2-1: KV=Q·√((ρ/1000)/△P) with Bernoulli physical △P

Design Flow
