GVO Series Features

The GVO Series of linear valve actuators incorporates the following features:

External tie bars allow contained release of energy in the event of over-pressure and allow ease of inspection and servicing Spring rod nut is locked to prevent unauthorized disassembly of the spring cartridge Adjustable travel stop for the rod-retract position, piston bottoms out for the rod-extend position. Specific travel applications available, consult factory 70 durometer Nitrile seals, other seal materials available upon request Piston wear band, drive rod bushing and polyurethane rod wiper are standard for all models Pneumatic cylinder material is hard anodized aluminum, 2vv thru 8vv, and fiber composite for sizes 10vv and above. Chrome plated carbon steel is available as an option. Cylinder plate and endcap material is carbon steel; optional aluminum for 2vv thru 8vv Cylinder plate incorporates a pneumatic distribution groove to maximize break-out thrust Drive rod material is carbon steel chrome plated, with option for stainless steel Consult factory for custom thrust, travel and pressure requirements Factory finish is Bettis Orange gloss alkyd enamel to RAL 2002. Other colors/coatings available upon request Removable mounting pedestal allows field adaption to the valve Swivel stem connector for ease of installation and stroke adjustment

Specifications and Approvals

The GVO Series of linear valve actuators are designed and manufactured as follows: Pressure rating of 150 psig MAWP (custom pressure ratings available) Static pressure test to 225 psig Standard operating temperature range -23 C to +74 C (-10 F to +165 F) Low temperature option available, -40 C to + 65 C (-40 F to +150 F) for 2vv to 14vv type DA XLT -46 C to + 65 C (-50 F to +150 F) for 16vv to 24vv type DA and all SR/FS models High temperature option available, -17 C to + 204 C (+1 F to +400 F) NPTF cylinder porting, with side porting on the cylinder plate Actuators designed and manufactured under an accredited ISO 9001:2000 QA program Consult factory for CE compliant actuators

Optional Mounting Interface

The GVO Series of linear valve actuators incorporates a standard open pedestal valve mounting adaption, or interface. The welded pedestal is manufactured from 2 steel channels and is removable from the actuator. One end of the pedestal is machined for bolting to the GVO actuator and the opposite end can be supplied as a blank to be machined later and fitted to the respective valve at another site. As an option, the pedestal can be custom machined by Bettis, provided that the valve top-works are included with the order. The open pedestal allows for easy visual position indication, access to packing glands and is suitable for installing a positioner and/or travel position switches.

Optional Swivel Stem Connector

The GVO Series of linear valve actuators can be supplied with, or without, the valve stem connector. If ordered, the valve stem dimensional information would be required and the valve-nut part of the connector would be machined at the factory to match the respective valve stem. The Bettis 3-piece swivel connector allows ease of assembly to the valve stem without the need to rotate the complete actuator as well as allowing for a degree of misalignment. The rod-extend travel adjustment (down stop) can safely be made after the actuator has been secured to the gear flange. Optional features include hammer-blow effect couplings, shear couplings, anti-rotation pin and travel position switch triggers.

Manual Jackscrew Override

The GVO Series of linear valve actuators are available with a unidirectional manual jackscrew handwheel override (-MJ) for emergency use when plant air or power gas is unavailable. The MJ override can also be used to hold the actuator in a particular position. For models where a jackscrew override is not feasible due to high thrust requirements, dimensional clearance or lack of accessibility, a manual hydraulic override is available. Also, the MJ override is not available for type SR actuators.

Hydraulic Manual Override

The GVO actuators are also available with a manual hydraulic override (-MH), bidirectional for double-acting and unidirectional for spring-return, type FS or SR. The MH override can also be used as a dampener for precise control of the cylinder speed. Consult factory for availability on GVO-LP-DA models 2vv through 14vv.

Notes for all SR and FS: 1) Actuator MAWP is 150 psig (10 barg) 2) Due to characteristics inherent in adjustable stroke spring return actuators, thrust values listed are nominal in Lbf at the maximum stroke range and are de-rated for friction allowance 3) Spring Start / Air End thrusts (type SR) and Spring End / Air Start thrusts (type FS) will vary as the stroke length decreases. Consult factory for more detailed sizing applications. 4) Actuators can be fitted with conventional Bettis swivel connector assembly, as an option 5) Mounting pedestal, where provided, is an open design twin channel type, removable from the cylinder plate 6) Actuator sizes are not oriented to a particular valve type or brand 7) Type SR actuators fail to extend the drive rod (close a direct-acting valve) 8) Type FS actuators fail to retract the drive rod (open a direct-acting valve) 9) Consult factory for operating pressures below 50 psig and above 120 psig 10) Thrust values shown can be interpolated for other operating pressures 11) Consult factory for custom thrust or stroke requirements 12) Ambient temperature range is -23 C to +74 C, low and high temp trim available, consult factory 12

Pedestal Dimensions
To select a pedestal for a particular model of GVO, the cylinder diameter and stroke range are matched to the corresponding pedestal number (A1 thru D4). For example, model 18E300-GVO-LP-DA has an 18vv cylinder and an E stroke range (18vv to 22vv). Therefore, the proper pedestal would be a number D2.

Gate Valve Generic Sizing

The Bettis GVO linear actuator models are usually selected based on actual thrust requirements and factors of safety as provided by the valve manufacturer, however these values can often be calculated, in part or in whole, by using an industry standard formula along with the operating parameters for the specific application. There are three major types of forces acting on a gate valve which, when combined with a thrust safety factor, will closely determine the valve thrust requirements and allow generic sizing of a suitable linear actuator.

Determining the valve action: Direct acting / Reverse acting

If the valve stem rises (extends) to open, the gate is direct, or standard, acting. If the valve stem rises (extends) to close, the gate is reverse acting, or selfclosing (with sufficient hydrostatic force).

Determining the valve stroke or stem travel

The valve stem travel for a slab or wedge type of gate is nominally equal to the bore diameter with length added to compensate for seat overlap and manufacturing tolerances. For actuator selection 1vv is added to a gate valves stem travel with bore diameters of 5vv or less, and 2vv is added to those 6vv and larger. For example, a NPS 3vv valve would need an actuator with 4vv of travel, and a NPS 10vv valve would require 12vv of actuator travel. Knife gate valves typically do not require actuator over travel. The stem travel for globe valves and rising stem ball valves is not normally directly correlated to the valve bore diameter.

Methodology for determining the total thrust requirement: Seat Friction

Seat / Gate Friction = Bore Seating Area x 6 Pressure x Gate Drag Factor Typical gate drag factors are: 0.30 for solid wedge, 0.25 for split/flex wedge, 0.20 for parallel disk, 0.18 for TFE seated, and 1.15 for globe or angle valve

Packing Friction
Stem Packing Friction in lbs = Stem Factor

Hydrostatic Force (Unbalanced Force)

Hydrostatic Force = Stem Area (thru packing) x Line Pressure

Safety Factor
Factor of Safety is usually dictated by the project specifications and/or the valve manufacturer

Generic Thrust Formula = (Seat Friction + Packing

Friction +/- Hydrostatic Force) x Safety Factor [(Seat Area x 6P x Valve Factor) + Stem Factor (Stem Area x Line P)] x Safety Factor The Hydrostatic Force, under line pressure, will assist the rod-retract force of the actuator but will resist the rod-extend force of the actuator. This force can be significant and must be considered when sizing an actuator. For example, a 2.0vv diameter valve stem with 2000 psig of line pressure will exert 6283 lbs of force against the actuator drive rod, forcing it to retract. The actuator must compensate for this.

Actuator Selection
Determining the actuator model (double acting)
When selecting a double acting actuator to meet a certain valves thrust and stroke requirements, there are two main variables; power cylinder diameter and stroke length. The required cylinder diameter is determined by matching the maximum valve thrust requirement, in any position and including safety factors, with the actuator output thrust in the same position (as shown on page 7 or 9 of this brochure) and at the minimum available supply pressure. Example: 10vv, ANSI 600 parallel disk, direct acting valve with a 2vv stem, operating at 1200 psig line pressure, with 700 psi max differential pressure and 80 psig air supply for the actuator, with a 15% factor of safety Seat friction = Nominal Seating Area x 6 Press x Gate Drag Factor = [ (10/2)2 x 700 x 0.20 ] = 10,990 lbf Packing friction = Stem Factor = 2000 lbf (estimated) Hydrostatic force = Stem area x line pressure = [ (2.00/2)2 x 1200 ] = 3770 lbf Generic Thrust Calculation = (Seat Friction + Packing Friction +/- Hydrostatic Force) x Safety Factor Thrust to fully close the valve (End to Close) = (10,990 + 2000 + 3770) x 1.15 = 19,274 lbf Thrust to begin opening the valve (Break to Open) = (10,990 + 2000 - 3770) x 1.15 = 10,603 lbf The worst case is the force required to close the valve, therefore the actuator will need to develop at least this amount of thrust, in the rod extend position, with 80 psig air supply. The thrust output of an 18vv diameter single cylinder is 19,340 lbf, rod extend, at 80 psig air supply (listed on page 9). The actuator travel will be 10vv + 2vv = 12vv, the stroke code will be C and the model is a 18C300-GVO-LP-DA

Determining the actuator model (spring return and failsafe)

When selecting a spring return model the spring start and end force, and the fail position need to be considered as well. Using the above example for a fail close (spring to close, air to open) application the thrust to close the valve (End to Close) and the thrust to open the valve (Break to Open) have been calculated. The thrust at the Start to Close and the End to Open positions must be determined. Since there will be no differential pressure in the open position, the valve gate drag is greatly reduced, however the packing friction and hydrostatic force remain. Thrust to begin closing (Start to Close) = (0 + 2000 + 3770) x 1.15 = 6636 lbf Thrust to fully open (End to Open) = (0 + 2000 - 3770) x 1.15 = -2036 lbf (self opening) For this fail close application, the spring must close the valve upon loss of supply pressure and should be capable of producing at least 19,274 lbf (End to Close thrust) at the Spring End position. The Spring Start position will require only 6636 lbf (Start to Close thrust). Since the spring is fully compressed in this position there should be no shortage of available thrust. This is a fail close application for a direct acting valve, therefore the actuator must extend the drive rod upon loss of supply pressure, which is a model GVO-LP-SR. The actuator power cylinder will need to compress the spring and produce at least 10,603 lbf net (Break to Open thrust) at the Air Start position with 80 psig air supply. For this case, the End to Open valve thrust requirement at the Air End position is negative, however the power cylinder must still be able to fully compress the spring with the 80 psig supply pressure. Looking at the models listed on page 13, the model 24C300-GVO-LP-SR-200 puts out sufficient Spring End thrust to close the valve however it would need more than 80 psig supply pressure to develop the force required to fully compress the spring. This model would be suitable if 100 psig supply pressure was available. Therefore, a tandem design cylinder is needed. The model 20C300-GVO-LP-SR-200-TDM (page 14) has 20,000 lbf Spring End thrust and develops 24,222 lbf at the Air Start position with 80 psig supply pressure.
