Product Introduction

Side Entry Forged Steel Trunnion Ball Valve

 

The forged steel trunnion mounted ball valve is engineered for critical isolation service in oil & gas transmission pipelines, LNG facilities, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
It is designed for ASME Class 150–2500 high-pressure applications, where safety, zero-leakage performance, and long lifecycle reliability are essential for EPC contractors and operators.

 

Proven Application Experience

 

Our trunnion ball valves have been supplied for high-demand industrial applications, including:

  • Cross-country natural gas transmission pipelines
  • LNG liquefaction and regasification terminals
  • Refinery hydrocracking and high-pressure isolation systems
  • Offshore and onshore sour gas (H₂S) service projects
  • Pigging systems and custody transfer metering stations

Engineering Advantages

 

Forged Split Body Construction
Closed-die forging ensures uniform grain structure
Eliminates internal porosity and shrinkage defects
Higher resistance to thermal shock and cyclic pressure fatigue
Suitable for cryogenic (-196°C) and high-pressure service

Trunnion Mounted Ball System
Ball supported by upper and lower trunnions
Reduces seat load under differential pressure (ΔP)
Enables low operating torque and smaller actuator sizing
Extends service life in high-cycle pipeline applications

Side Entry Maintenance Design
Bolted body construction allows in-line maintenance
Seats, seals, and stem packing can be replaced without full pipeline removal
Reduces plant shutdown time and maintenance cost

 

Safety & Performance Features

 

Double Block and Bleed (DBB) capability for isolation verification
Bi-directional sealing (DPE / SPE seat design options)
Fire-safe metal sealing backup (API 607 compliant)
Anti-blowout stem design for high-pressure safety
Anti-static grounding system for explosion-proof environments
Fugitive emission control for environmental compliance

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: When should I use a trunnion ball valve?

A: For 4" and above sizes, and especially in Class 600+ high-pressure pipelines, trunnion designs reduce torque, improve sealing stability, and increase service life compared to floating ball valves.

Q: Why choose forged steel over cast steel?

A: Forging eliminates internal voids and improves grain structure alignment, resulting in:
Higher pressure resistance
Better fatigue performance
Increased safety in cryogenic and sour gas service

Q: Can you support EPC documentation requirements?

A: Yes. We provide full MDR packages including:
Material traceability (3.1 / 3.2 certificates)
Test reports
NDT reports
Third-party inspection certificates

Q: Do you support custom actuator integration?

A: Yes. We provide complete valve automation packages with:
Mechanical mounting
Calibration
Functional testing before shipment
