Valve Automation
on Tufline and Xomox Valves



The following are graphical representations of Tufline Valves torque curves.



The Sleeved Plug Valve actuator's primary concern is the pneumatic start and the spring start. The published torque values are break, run and seating.



The HPBV actuator's primary concern is the pneumatic start and the spring end. Currently the published value is the break/seating torque, a rule of thumb is the dynamic torque is 65% of the break torque.



The Lined Plug Valve actuator's primary concern is the pneumatic start and the spring start. The published torque value is break, rule of thumb is run 50% and seating 75% of break.



The Lined Ball Valve actuator's primary concern is the pneumatic start and the spring end. The published value is the break/seating torque, a rule of thumb is the dynamic torque is 70% of the break torque.
