TRUNNION MOUNTED BALL VALVE
What is Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve?
The trunnion ball
valve is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a
hollow, perforated and fixed/supported ball to control flow through
it. The trunnion is available for all sizes and for all pressure
classes but they are not suitable for throttling purposes.
Trunnion mounted ball
valves, uses a spring mechanism or line pressure assistance to
drive the upstream seat against the stationary ball. The surface area exposed
to the pressure through the relatively small passageway is actually just the
back of the seat.
Trunnion
ball valve is fixed, as it does not move with medium pressure.
Trunnion ball valve has floating seats. The seats of this valves move with medium
pressure to tight the ball and seal ring to ensure sealing reliability. This is
widely used in valves with high pressure and big sizes Trunnion ball valve
features the front ball sealing design structure.
How Does it Works?
The trunnion mounted
valves stem absorbs the thrust from the line pressure, preventing excess
friction between the ball and seats, so even at full
rated working pressure operating torque remains low.

Parts of a Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve
1.
Body
Body of this Valve protects
the internals parts and is made up of Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Super
Duplex Steel, Inconel and more depending on the Application
2.
Stem
The Stem of this Valves
connects the ball to the actuator. This connected joint is welded which
controls the movement of the ball. Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve can handle high
pressure at high temperature without providing any Damage to the Valve, because
of the anti-blowout stems.
3.
Seats
The seats of a
trunnion-mounted ball valve surround the ball. When the actuator is turned, the
seats hold the ball snugly in place, sealing off any access. Trunnion ball
valves have spring-loaded seats that move towards the ball as it is held firmly
in place.
4.
Trunnion
In a trunnion mounted ball
valve, there is an additional shaft that holds the ball in place from below.
This small shaft is known as a trunnion and it keeps the ball firmly in place.
In some ball valves, the trunnion is an extension of the ball while in others
it is connected to the ball through welded joints.
5.
Disk
The disk in a trunnion mounted
ball valve is in the shape of a perforated, hollow ball. The ball is connected
to the stem on one end and the trunnion on the other. In a trunnion ball valve,
the ball or disk is held in place while it rotates. The seats are always in
contact with the ball, hence reducing torque.
6.
Actuator
The actuator in a trunnion ball
valve is used to open or close the valve. There are different kinds of
actuators used in ball valves depending upon the application and medium.
