Stud size calculation

We know that total force to be retained by studs is given by ; Fs =
FS=0.785( OD^2-ID^2 ) X P
Where,
OD=

therefore total load to be retained by studs;

FS=

and also, load on each bolt is given by; E=FS/N

E=
S=

58.3231267244 lbs
18800 psi, allowable stress for stud material (A 19

Considering safety factor as 4 times of allowable stress, we have

working stress, SW=
4700 psi
and also area of one stud; A is given by =

load on each st
working stress for stud

therefore, A=

0.0124091759 inch2

We also know that, area of one stud is given ; A1=.785 Xd2

where,
d=root diameter of stud in inch
therefore , we have ;
calculated stud diameter=

Valve stem diameter calculation

We know that, total axial force to be imparted by the stem is given by; PT=Pr + Pa + Pf
Where,
Pr=Force to resist line pressure thrust on valve stem
Pa=Axial clamping force at the seating to maintain fluid tigtness.
Pf=Frictional resistance by embrassing effect on packing by valve stem.

285 psi (working pressure /

250.0243737987 lbs

similarly ;
Pc = 8.5 x 3.1415 (d1 + d2)
therefore, Pc=

108.2828051181 lbs

also we have ;
Pf=3.1415 x L X Dg x u x WP
where,
L=

therefore

Pf=

considering safety factor as 1.5 times of allowable stress , we have

working stress, S X S.F=
13333.3333333333 psi
therefore , total axial force , Pt=

587.2876450028 lbs

Area on which load will be acted ; A= Total axial force / working stress i.e A= Pt/S*S.F
therefore ; A=

where, d= diameter of valve stem
therefore; d=
