Resilient Seated Butterfly Valves Torques
Torques:
INTRODUCTION
CASE I
There are a number of torques which butterfly valves may

experience such as:
TT = Th + Tbf + Tss+ Tsu
Tsu - Seating and Unseating Torque

Td - Dynamic Torque Resulting from fluid flow
Tbf Bearing Friction Torque
Tss Stem Seal Friction Torque
Te Eccentricity Torque resulting from
disc offset from centerline of stem (either single,
double or triple offset)
Th Hydrostatic Torque
Factors which influence the butterfly valve torque values
shown above are:
Type of Seat and Seat Material
Interference of Seat I.D. and Disc O.D.
Shaft Diameter
Valve Diameter
Bearing Coefficient of Friction
Angle of Opening
Shut-off Pressure
(Angle = 0 , Disc in Closed Position)
Analyzed
Total Torque for Case I using a symmetrical disc butterfly valve is
the sum of hydrostatic torque, bearing friction torque, stem seal,
friction torque, and seating/unseating torque.
A. Hydrostatic Torque (Th)
We will ignore discussion of the hydrostatic torque values as they
are generally insignificant compared to the seating/unseating,
bearing friction and stem seal torque values (the safety factor applied to seating/unseating, stem seal friction and bearing friction
torque values more than compensates for the hydrostatic torque
which is usually less than 2% of these total torques).
B. Bearing Friction Torque (Tbf)
Bearing friction torque occurs because pressure forces against the
disc are transmitted to the stem. As the stem is forced against the
bearing supports, bearing friction torque is created between the
stem material and the support material as the stem is turned. Bearing friction torques are normally included in the seating/unseating
torque values.
Bearing friction torques can be determined by using
the following equation:
Tbf = .785 Cf Dv2 (d/P)
Fluid Velocity
Disc Shape and Configuration
Where:
Piping System and Location/Orientation of Valve in Pipe Line
Tbf = Bearing Friction Torque
System Head Characteristics
Cf = Coefficient of Friction (approximately .25 for noncorroded stem to cast iron body) (dimensionless).
Physical Size of Disc/Shaft Obstructing Flow
Dv = Valve Diameter (Inches)
Disc Edge Finish

With respect to Butterfly Valves, the two major conditions for
determining total valve operating torque (TT) exists as follows:
d = Diameter of Shaft (Inches)

P = Pressure Differential (psi)
C. Stem Seal Friction Torque (Tss)
For all practical purposes stem seal friction torque values are
insignificant when compared to seating/unseating and bearing
friction torques. Stem seal friction torques are normally included
in the seating/unseating torque values.

D. Seating/Unseating Torques (Tsu)
A. Bearing Friction Torque (Tbf)
The seating/unseating torque value (Tsu) is a function of the

pressure differential, the seat materials coefficient of friction,
the finished surface of the disc edge, the amount of interference
between the seat I.D. and disc O.D. when flanged in piping, the
seat thickness, and the type of service (media) for which the valve
is being used. In determining the Tsu values for Bray resilient
seated butterfly valves, Bray has developed Seating/Unseating
Torque Charts incorporating all bearing friction and stem seal
friction torques for three classes of services for both the valves
with standard discs (rated to full pressure) and for valves with
reduced diameter discs (rated for 50 psi [3.5 bar]). The three service
classes are:
See Case I discussion. This torque value is normally included in

the Dynamic Torque Value.
B. Stem Seal Friction Torque (Tss)
See Case I discussion. This torque value is normally included in
the Dynamic torque value.
C. Dynamic Torque (Td)
In a symmetrical disc design, dynamic torque occurs between the
closed position, 0 and the full open position, 90. With the disc in
the partially open position, velocity of the fluid passing the leading disc edge is less than the velocity passing the trailing edge.
This variance in velocity past the leading disc edge and trailing
disc edge results in an unbalanced distribution of pressure forces
on the upstream side of the face of the disc. The total pressure
forces acting perpendicular to the disc face on the leading edge
half of the disc are greater than the total pressure acting perpendicular on the trailing half of the disc. This uneven distribution
of pressure on the disc face (exists on both sides of the disc) results in a torsional force which tries to turn the disc to the closed
position (Figure 1). This torsional closing force can become
greater than the seating/unseating torque value depending on the
valve angle of opening and differential pressure.
Class I Non-Corrosive, Lubricating Service

Class II General Service
Class III Severe Service
Please review the guidelines for each class in the technical manual when determining which Seating/Unseating Torque Class
should be used. Most butterfly valves are used in Class II, General
Service applications.
E. Total Torque (TT)
The total torque values for Bray symmetrical disc valves for Case
I applications are shown in the Seating/Unseating Torque Charts
within this manual.
Case II
To determine dynamic torque, the following equation is applied:

Td = Cdt d3 P
Where:
(Disc in Partial To Full Opening Position)
Td = Dynamic Torque (lbs- in).
TT = Tbf + Tss+ Td
Cdt = Coefficient of Dynamic Torque (based on disc shape

and angle of opening) (dimensionless)
The total Torque for Case II using a symmetrical disc butterfly valve
is the summation of bearing friction torque, stem seal friction torque
and dynamic torque.

P = Pressure Differential Across Valve (psi)

As shown in Figure 2, dynamic torque for Brays symmetrical
disc valves is at 0 angle of opening and increases until the angle
of opening reaches 75-80, where it then decreases to a zero
value at full open (90) (no internal friction factors considered, just
dynamic torque only).
One final comment about dynamic torque is that one may minimize
the dynamic torque by the orientation of the valve (stem horizontal
or vertical) in the pipeline as well as by the location (distance) in
the pipeline from elbows, other valves, etc. (See Bray Resilient
Seated BFV Operations and Maintenance Manual).
Conclusion
In most applications for butterfly valves, especially 20 (508mm)
or smaller, the maximum torque required to operate the valve will
be seating/unseating torque. However, dynamic torque should be
considered particularly in:
Control applications using larger valves (24 [610mm] and
above) where the disc is maintained in the open position
Applications using larger valves (24 [610mm] and above)
where the velocity is high (16 ft./sec [5.3m/sec]).
D. Total Torque (TT)

The total torque required for operating a Bray symmetrical disc
butterfly valve at an angle opening between 0and 90 is shown
in the Dynamic Torque section of this manual. Note that the
dynamic torque includes all internal friction torque values.

Reduced Disc Diameter

Bray Series 30/31/3A Valves
Bray offers a reduced disc diameter for 4-20 for Series 30, 31
and 3A valves. The purpose of reducing the disc diameter is to
decrease the seating/unseating torques and extend the seat life on
low pressure applications.
Bray does the following to differentiate reduced diameter discs

from full diameter discs:
By reducing the disc diameter, the interference between the disc

O.D. and seat I.D. is decreased and the valve pressure rating,
which is a function of this interference, is reduced to 50 PSI. Less
interference between the disc and seat results in reduced seating/
unseating torques. Lower seating/unseating torque may allow for
the use ofa smaller actuator on the valve. In other applications
where abrasive dry bulk materials such as cement, sugar, plastic,
pallets, flour, etc., are generally pneumatically conveyed at 50
PSI or less, the reduced disc diameter not only reduces the seating/unseating torque but, very importantly, usually significantly
increases the services life of the seat.

Seating & Unseating Torques:

Bray has developed Seating/Unseating Torque Charts for three
Classes of Service for its valves with standard discs (rated for full
pressure) and for valves with reduced diameter discs (rated for 50
PSI / 3.5 bar.).
Characteristics of
Application

The guidelines for selecting a Class to be used for determining

a valves seating/unseating torque are given below. Each valve

NOTE:
1. For aqueous processes and water, Class A torques may
be used only if a Nylon 11 coated disc is selected and all

other Class A characteristics apply. Otherwise, Class B
torques should be used.
2. All the material trims may be classified into Class A, B,
or C except Series 20/21 valves with a PTFE Lined Elastomer seat, PTFE molded disc/stem, or rubber molded
disc/stem. These trims must always use Class C Seating/
Unseating Torque Values unless they are used only in
a throttling application. Valves with bonded seats must
always be classified as Class C.
3. If a valve is used strictly in a throttling application, that
is, it is never put in the closed position but throttled

between 20 and 80, then Class A torques may be used
provided you have checked to see that dynamic torques
do not exceed the Class A torque values.
Torque : 7
4. With the exception of dry, non-lubricating medias, one
is usually safe electing to use Class B torques for sizing

actuators for all other valve service applications. Seating/
Unseating Torque values shown include friction bearing
torques for stated differential pressure.
5. Dynamic Torque values are not considered.
See the Dynamic Torque chart in this manual for determination of Dynamic Torque.
6. Do not apply a safety factor to torque values when

determining actuator output torque requirement.
7. For 3-way assemblies where one valve is opening and

another is closing, multiply torque by a 1.5 factor.

Resilient Seated Butterfly Valves Torques

A. Bearing Friction Torque (Tbf)

The seating/unseating torque value (Tsu) is a function of the

See Case I discussion. This torque value is normally included in

Class I Non-Corrosive, Lubricating Service

To determine dynamic torque, the following equation is applied:

(Disc in Partial To Full Opening Position)

Td = Dynamic Torque (lbs- in).

Cdt = Coefficient of Dynamic Torque (based on disc shape

= Diameter of Disc (Inches)

P = Pressure Differential Across Valve (psi)
