Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve?
Trunnion mounted ball valves offer a fixed ball design which provides lower operating torque, making them ideal for high-pressure applications and larger valve sizes compared to floating ball designs.
Which pressure ratings are available for these valves?
Our trunnion ball valves are available in pressure ratings ranging from ANSI Class 150 to Class 2500, catering to a wide variety of industrial requirements.
What materials are used for the valve body?
Common materials include Forged and Casting options such as WCB, A105, LCB, CF8 (SS304), CF8M (SS316), and Duplex steel, depending on the service medium and temperature.
Are these valves fire-safe?
Yes, our valves are designed to be fire-safe according to API 6FA standards, ensuring integrity and safety during high-temperature or fire emergencies.
What standards do these ball valves comply with?
The valves are manufactured and tested in accordance with international standards including API 6D, ASME B16.34, API 598, and ANSI B16.10.
Can these valves be used for corrosive media?
Yes, by selecting appropriate trim and body materials like Stainless Steel (SS316/F316L) or Duplex steel, the valves are highly suitable for corrosive media like HNO3 or CH3OOH.
