Narrative:

Air carrier X (A310) climbing off geg east direct mlp and aircraft Y (F900) climbing off gpi sbound. Air carrier X climbing to FL330 and aircraft Y to FL380. Air carrier X and aircraft Y were traffic east of mlp. I had aircraft Y expedite climb through FL340 for the air carrier X. When I realized I would not have separation; I turned air carrier X to heading 060 degrees to go behind aircraft Y. When I realized that the turn would not be enough; I turned the air carrier X further to heading 030 degrees. Air carrier X route turned at mlp. I did not realize the turn would be so pronounced. I was anticipating a shallow turn which would have put air carrier X behind aircraft Y. Also contributing was the fact that aircraft Y was not climbing as fast as I was anticipating.

Title: ZSE CTLR EXPERIENCED OPERROR AT APPROX FL330 WHEN MISJUDGING CLB RATE OF ONE ACFT AND THE TURN RATE OF ANOTHER.

Narrative: ACR X (A310) CLBING OFF GEG E DIRECT MLP AND ACFT Y (F900) CLBING OFF GPI SBOUND. ACR X CLBING TO FL330 AND ACFT Y TO FL380. ACR X AND ACFT Y WERE TFC E OF MLP. I HAD ACFT Y EXPEDITE CLB THROUGH FL340 FOR THE ACR X. WHEN I REALIZED I WOULD NOT HAVE SEPARATION; I TURNED ACR X TO HDG 060 DEGS TO GO BEHIND ACFT Y. WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE TURN WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH; I TURNED THE ACR X FURTHER TO HDG 030 DEGS. ACR X RTE TURNED AT MLP. I DID NOT REALIZE THE TURN WOULD BE SO PRONOUNCED. I WAS ANTICIPATING A SHALLOW TURN WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT ACR X BEHIND ACFT Y. ALSO CONTRIBUTING WAS THE FACT THAT ACFT Y WAS NOT CLBING AS FAST AS I WAS ANTICIPATING.
