Trunnion Ball Valve

The trunnion ball valve is made of cast or forged steel in compliance with API 6D. They are available in side entry, top entry, and fully welded, with soft or metal seated.

The trunnion valve is designed with a ball held by the stem at the top and by a shaft called a trunnion at the bottom. Trunnion plates (support plate) are used as trunnion for big sizes trunnion ball valves.

The combination of trunnion-mounted balls and unique spring-loaded upstream sealing provides bubble-tight shut-off and low operating torques, even at extremely high shut-off pressure.

The side entry trunnion mounted ball valves are split body, bolted joint, in 2 piece or 3 pieces body.

General Features and Benefits

  • Standard double block sealing performance: each seat blocks the flow from each side.
  • Cavity over-pressure self-relieving: Over-pressure in the body cavity will pop the seats off the ball surface, and excess pressure will be relieved into the pipeline. After the pop-off action, the seats will return to their normal position, in contact with the ball.
  • Body and bonnet sealing: gasket and O-ring seal to guarantee the sealing performance at high and low pressure conditions.
  • Leakage rate: ISO 5208/EN 12266-1 Rate A (zero visual leakage)
  • Fire-safe design to API 607/API 6FA
  • Anti-static design: A static conduction spring is used as standard between the stem and the ball.
  • Anti-blow-out stem
  • Low-operation torque design

Options

  • Double piston effect seat (DIB-1, DIB-2)
     

Design Features

Cast Steel Trunnion Ball Valve

① Emergency Sealant Injection Fitting: Prevents leakage from the stem.
② Blow-out Proof Stem: Stem functions as the backseat to assure stem sealing at all pressures.
③ Emergency Sealant Injection Fitting: Prevents leakage from the seat.
④ Drain plug:Relieves the body cavity.
⑤ Double Sealing O-rings:Prevents leakage from stem area.
⑥ O-ring & Gasket Combination:Prevents leakage from body connection area.
⑦ Floating Spring: Loaded seats assure sealing, even at low pressures.
⑧ Metal-to-Metal Sealing: When soft seals are deteriorated by fire, seat float to shut of the line fluid.

Forged Steel Trunnion Ball Valve

① Two O-ring seals prevent leakage from the stem area.
② Blow-out-proof stem: a safety feature that functions to assure stem sealing at all pressures.
③ Back-up metal-to-metal Sealing: When primary soft-seat material is deteriorated by fire, the metal-to-metal seat provides shutoff.
④ O-ring and Gasket Combination: Prevents leakage from the body connection area.
⑤ Floating spring-loaded seats: ensure sealing even at low pressures.

About

Trunnion Ball Valve Manufacturer

Relia is a ball valve manufacturer and supplier with API 6D, CE, and API 607 certificates.

Trunnion ball valves are our featured products, with double block and bleed, or DIB. Trunnion ball valves are available in side entry or top entry, with a soft or metal seat.

The trunnion ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve that uses a solid, perforated, and fixed/supported ball to control the flow through it. The line pressure drives the upstream seat against the stationary ball, so that the line pressure forces the upstream seat onto the ball, causing it to seal.

The advantages of trunnion ball valve design are lower operating torque, ease of operation, minimized seat wear, and superior sealing performance at both high and low pressure.

The trunnion ball valve is available for all sizes and all pressure ratings for shutting off service.
