- Main Features
- Trunnion Mounted Ball: Ball is supported by upper and lower trunnion bearings, reducing operating torque and ensuring smooth operation under high differential pressure. Ideal for large sizes and high‑pressure applications.
- Reduced Bore (4″ x 3″): 4″ flanged connections with a 3″ internal bore reduces weight and cost while maintaining adequate flow capacity.
- 3-Piece Body Construction: Center body with bolted end caps allows easy in‑line maintenance – seats, ball, and seals can be accessed without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.
- Metal‑to‑Metal Seating: Ball and seats are hardfaced with wear‑resistant alloys (e.g., tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, or Stellite). Provides exceptional durability in high‑temperature, abrasive, and erosive services.
- Spring‑Loaded Seats: Metal seats are typically pre‑loaded with Inconel springs to maintain continuous contact with the ball, ensuring tight shut‑off even under low pressure or thermal cycling.
- Double Block & Bleed Capability: With two independent metal seats, the cavity between seats can be vented or monitored.
- Anti‑Static Device: Ensures electrical continuity between ball, stem, and body.
- Blowout‑Proof Stem: Stem is designed to prevent ejection under pressure.

Torque | Higher | Lower |
Suitable Media | Abrasive, high‑temp, steam, slurry | Clean fluids, cryogenic, chemicals |
- Operating Torque & Actuator Sizing
- Higher Torque Requirement: Metal seated valves require significantly higher torque than soft seated valves due to metal‑to‑metal contact and spring preload.
- Trunnion Advantage: Despite higher torque, the trunnion design reduces torque compared to a floating ball of the same size.
- Safety Factor: Actuator output torque should be at least 1.3 – 1.5 times the maximum measured valve torque.
- Breakaway Torque: Especially critical after prolonged closure; may be higher than running torque.
- Typical Applications
- High‑Temperature Processes: Refinery thermal cracking units, FCCU slurry, steam systems up to 500°C.
- Abrasive Media: Catalyst lines, mining slurries, sand handling.
- Sour Service: With NACE MR0175 materials, suitable for high‑pressure sour gas.
- Offshore & Subsea: Corrosion‑resistant F316L with metal seats for reliability in demanding environments.
- Chemical Processing: Handling corrosive fluids at elevated temperatures.
