Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves
Trunnion-mounted ball valves are robust and reliable components used for managing the flow of fluids in high-pressure and high-volume applications. Unlike floating ball valves, their design includes a stationary ball supported by trunnions, which reduces stress on the seats and ensures precise operation. This makes them a preferred choice in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation.
One of the standout features of trunnion-mounted ball valves is their ability to handle extreme pressures without compromising sealing integrity. The fixed ball design minimizes torque requirements, making them easier to operate, especially in larger sizes. Additionally, these valves provide bi-directional sealing, ensuring leak-free performance even under demanding conditions.
Engineered for durability, trunnion-mounted ball valves are constructed from premium materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel to withstand harsh environments and corrosive media. Their robust design not only extends their operational lifespan but also reduces maintenance needs, enhancing cost-efficiency and reliability in critical systems.
With advancements in technology, modern trunnion-mounted ball valves come equipped with features such as double block-and-bleed capabilities, fire-safe designs, and anti-static mechanisms. These enhancements improve safety, efficiency, and adaptability, making them indispensable in applications requiring superior flow control and reliability.
