How to calculate the weight of a ball valve body
Thread Content
How should the weight of the ball in a ball valve be calculated? If I am the one who manufactures the blanks, how do I calculate the weight of those blanks?
It depends on the size of the mold for your valve body, right?
But sometimes when customers inquire about prices, they provide relevant dimensions, and based on these it is possible to roughly determine the weight. There’s no need to follow the mold, right?
Design---Mold---Blank---Load-bearing capacity---Empirical values
The rough weight, calculated as a sphere, is
First, direct weighing is the most accurate; second, calculation using 3D software graphics; third, using an old-type integrator (which may no longer exist these days)
Ball valve bodies generally have a simple structure; it’s possible to create a simplified 3D model, and later, for different sizes within the same series, only the parameters need to be adjusted – which doesn’t take much time
