Side Entry Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

Built for demanding pipeline and process applications, the Side Entry Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve is designed to provide reliable isolation, tight shut-off, and long-term operating performance under high-pressure and severe service conditions. Its trunnion-mounted ball design securely supports the ball at both the upper and lower ends, reducing operating torque and ensuring stable valve performance even in large-diameter and high-pressure applications.

The Side Entry Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve is widely suited for oil & gas, natural gas transmission, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, and other critical industrial applications where dependable flow isolation is essential. The side-entry construction allows convenient access to internal components for inspection and maintenance, while advanced sealing and robust construction provide reliable performance throughout extended operating cycles.

Features & Benefits

High-performance quarter-turn valve delivering bubble-tight shutoff for demanding process industries.

Trunnion Mounted Ball Design

The ball is securely supported by upper and lower trunnions, reducing operating torque and providing stable performance under high-pressure conditions.

Reliable Tight Shut-Off

Advanced seat and sealing design provides dependable isolation and minimizes the risk of internal and external leakage.

Low Operating Torque

The fixed-ball design significantly reduces the load on the valve seats and actuator, allowing efficient operation of large and high-pressure valves.

High Pressure Capability

Robust construction and optimized pressure-bearing components make the valve suitable for high-pressure pipeline and process applications.

Side Entry Construction

The bolted side-entry design provides convenient access to internal components, simplifying inspection, maintenance, and repair.

Double Block & Bleed

Suitable configurations can provide reliable isolation and allow pressure to be safely relieved from the valve cavity during maintenance and operation.

Fire Safe Design

Fire-safe sealing arrangements help maintain valve integrity and minimize leakage under emergency fire conditions when designed and tested to applicable standards.

Emergency Sealing Capability

Optional sealant injection points allow emergency sealing of seats or stem seals, helping to maintain valve performance in demanding operating conditions.

Long Service Life

Robust materials, precision-machined components, and wear-resistant sealing surfaces provide reliable performance over extended operating cycles.

Wide Range of Applications

Suitable for oil & gas pipelines, natural gas transmission, petrochemical plants, refineries, chemical processing, and other critical isolation services.

Application Scenario

FAQ

Q What is a ball valve used for?

A ball valve is designed for reliable on/off isolation by rotating a ball with a bore through 90 degrees. It is widely used in oil & gas, chemical processing, LNG, water treatment, and industrial pipeline systems requiring tight shutoff.

Q When should I choose a ball valve?

Choose a ball valve when you need bubble-tight sealing, low operating torque, quick quarter-turn operation, and long service life. It is ideal for frequent operation and automated process systems.

Q What is the difference between a floating ball valve and a trunnion-mounted ball valve?

Floating ball valves are suitable for small and medium sizes, while trunnion-mounted ball valves provide lower operating torque and greater stability for high-pressure and large-diameter applications.

Q Can ball valves be used for throttling?

Ball valves are primarily designed for on/off service. Although partial opening is possible, continuous throttling is generally not recommended because it may damage the sealing surfaces.

Q What materials are available for ball valves?

Ball valves are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, alloy steel, and special materials to suit corrosive, high-temperature, cryogenic, and severe-service applications.

Q Which industries commonly use ball valves?

Ball valves are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, LNG, chemical processing, power generation, mining, and general industrial applications.
