Trunnion Ball Valve

Catalogue

Trunnion mounted ball valves with self relieving seat; Zero Leakage. Trunnion ball valve manufacturer in China with API 6D, API 607 & CE certificate. The trunnion ball valve side entry or top entry design. They are made of cast or forged steel body with soft or metal seat, with structure of side entry or top entry.

Trunnion ball valves are fire safe, anti-static devices, anti-blow out stems, and have superior sealing performance at both high and low pressure.  

Cast steel: WCB, LCB, CF8, CF3, 4A etc. or

forged steel: A105, LF2, F304, F316, F51 etc.

End Connections: Flanged, Welded, Hub End, etc.

Design Features

Gerneral Design

The ball is fixed by a trunnion shaft (sizes 4" and smaller) or retaining plate (sizes 6" and above); and the seat rings are floating, free to move against the ball along the valve center line. The trunnion shaft / retaining plate, together with bearings, absorb the side load created by the pressure acting on the ball.

At low pressure, the seat tight sealing is ensured by the preload of the springs acting on the seat rings. Along with the pressure increasing, the process medium pressure pushes the seat rings against the ball to provide additional load for tight sealing.

The ball and stem are independent of each other to minimize the effect of the side thrust generated by the pressure acting on the ball.

Ball Seat Alignment

Mechanical stops are equipped on all valves to ensure the ball is never over-rotated.

AED O-Ring

When the trunnion ball valve is used in high-pressure gas applications (e.g., hydrocarbon gas service under class 600 and above), the gas may be absorbed into the molecular structure of elastomeric O-rings. If the valve is subjected to sudden decompression, the O-rings may be destroyed by the rapidly expanding gas. Special AED O-rings or Lip seals suitable for such service conditions are available on request to avoid this possibility.

Low Fugitive Emission Valve

Accurate machining of stem, gland, and bonnet sealing surfaces with double sealing (O-ring primary seal plus graphite gasket seal) ensures low emission, which is in compliance with the most severe pollution-control regulations such as API 641. The test certifications are available on request.

Seat Design

Standard seat design is primary soft seal, and secondary metal to metal seal. Seat insert is designed as pressed-in type which is easy for maintenance.(Fig. 1) Optional design with primary metal to metal seal and secondary soft seal seat design is also available upon request.(Fig. 2)

Seat Types

a) Standard: Single Piston Effect Seats (Self Relieving Seats)
Medium pressure, both upstream and downstream, creates a resultant thrust to the seat rings against the ball to assure tight sealing; Medium pressure acting in the body cavity creates a resultant thrust to push the seat rings away from the ball.

The single piston design permits the automatic release of any over pressure in the body cavity when the valve is in the fully open or fully closed position. (Fig. 3,4)

Double Block and Bleed
When the ball is in the closed position, each seat seals off the process medium independently at the same time between the up/down stream and body cavity; it allows bleeding of the trapped cavity pressure (DBB) through drain or vent valve. The double block and bleed function makes it possible to flush the valve under pressure and verify that the seats are sealing properly.(Fig. 7)

b) Option 1: Double Piston Effect Seats (Double Isolation and Bleed)
Medium pressure, both upstream and downstream as well as in the body cavity, creates a resultant thrust that pushes the seat rings against the ball. Valves with double piston effect seat rings require a cavity pressure relief device to reduce the build-up of over pressure in the body cavity. (Fig. 5,6)

c) Option 2: Combination Seats (Single Piston Effect Seats*Double Piston Effect Seats)
Combination seats design is available on request. That is a standard seat design used for upstream side and a double piston effect seats design used for downstream. The advantage is it can reach double piston effect seats design function without cavity pressure relief device to saves the cost, meanwhile only need a little care to install valve per flow direction arrow. (Fig. 3,6)
 

Fire Safe

a) External leakage prevention
All the possible external leakage point between stem and gland flange, gland flange and body, body and adapter are sealed with primary O-ring then secondary graphite gasket. When fire burned out the primary O-ring seal, the secondary graphite gasket seal still can prevent the process medium from external leakage.(Fig. 9)

b) Internal leakage prevention
When fire burned out the primary O-ring seal between the floating seat ring and adapter, also the seat insert between seat ring and ball, the secondary graphite seal between seat ring and adapter, and seat ring & ball metal to metal contact pre loaded by spring will minimize the internal process medium leakage. (Fig. 10,11)

Anti-static Device

Spring plus graphite type anti-static device are applied between the ball, stem, gland flange and body, to keep the electrical continuity between all the metallic components, and ensure the resistance lower than the most severe service requirement.(Fig. 8)

Blow-out Proof Stem

The stem is made separately from the ball with integral T-type round shoulder, retained by gland, (other designs are available on request).(Fig. 8)

Emergency Sealant Injection System

Each trunnion ball valve of size 6” and larger (or smaller size on request), is equipped with sealant injection located at stem and seats area. The injection is integrated with check valve to provide backup sealing, also a check valve is equipped at front of seat sealant injection to avoid blowing out in case wrong operation. When the soft sealing materials (seat inserts and o-rings) are damaged and leakage happened by fire or other accident, the sealant can be injected through the injection fittings.(Fig. 12)

How A Trunnion Ball Valve Works

The trunnion ball valve is a form of quarter-turn ball valve which uses a solid, perforated, and trunnion-mounted ball to control 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 mechanical anchoring of the ball absorbs the thrust from the line pressure, preventing excess friction between the ball and seats, so even at full rated working pressure, operating torque remains low. This is particularly advantageous when the ball valve is actuated because it reduces the size of the actuator and, hence, the overall cost of the valve actuation package.
