Allowable Pressure Drops
GE has created a simple actuator sizing and selection program,
which allows for quick and accurate actuator sizing based on
the specific service conditions. This program is designed to run
in Microsoft® Excel®, and is available from your local GE sales
representative.
The opening screen of the sizing program is shown below.
Operating variables can be selected from a number of pull-
down menus. The program will then provide an actuator
recommendation, along with calculations for the required torque
(with safety margins) for valve seating, unseating, and throttling
conditions.
This program covers standard product construction only. Please
consult with your local GE sales representative, or with the factory,
for applications and conditions not covered by this program.
