- Features & Design Advantages
- Trunnion-Mounted Ball / Floating Seat Design: The ball is supported by fixed upper and lower trunnions (shafts), minimizing deformation under high pressure. Seats are spring-loaded and pressure-assisted to ensure bubble-tight bidirectional sealing at both low and high pressures.
- Anti-blowout Stem: The stem is internally retained by the bonnet shoulder, preventing stem ejection under abnormal high pressure.
- Fire-safe Structure: Designed to API 6FA. In case of fire, if soft seats are destroyed, the ball contacts the metal seat backup to form a secondary metal-to-metal seal. A graphite secondary sealing element in the stem prevents external leakage.
- Anti-static Device: Springs and conductive balls are installed between the stem, ball, and body to ensure electrical continuity even with non-metallic seals, preventing static charge buildup.
- Emergency Sealant Injection: Optional sealant injection fittings are available for seats and stem. In case of accidental seal failure, special sealant can be injected to temporarily restore sealing.
- Double Block and Bleed (DBB): In the fully closed position, the valve isolates both upstream and downstream pressure simultaneously. The body cavity pressure can be relieved via a bleed valve to verify seal integrity.
- In-line Maintenance (Top Entry): Top entry design allows for replacement of internal components like the ball and seats without removing the valve body from the pipeline.
- Options & Accessories
- Extended Bonnet: For cryogenic/low-temperature applications.
- Drain / Vent Connections: Threaded connections with plug indicators.
- Position Indicator: Visual open/closed indication.
- Locking Device: To prevent unauthorized operation.
- Actuator Mounting Pad: Standardized to ISO 5211.
