Product Description
Trunnion ball valves are quarter-turn valves used to stop or start the flow of a media in a pipe. The most common type of ball valve has a free floating design, so the trunnion type is a design change
A trunnion mounted valve means that the ball is constrained by bearings and is only allowed to rotate, the majority of the hydraulic load is supported by the System constraints, resulting in low bearing pressure and no shaft fatigue
Comprehensive Flow Control SolutionsTrunnion valves offer a versatile approach for managing flow in diverse applications, spanning gas transfer, oil feed, and chemical processing lines. Engineered for resilience and precision, they cater to demanding environments where safety and operational reliability are essential.
Engineered for Diverse Industrial NeedsWith sizes from 15mm up to 600mm and pneumatic actuation, these valves are adaptable across a spectrum of industries. They are suitable for handling aggressive or hazardous media, making them invaluable for both new installations and retrofit projects.
FAQs of Trunnion Valves:
Q: How does a trunnion valve ensure safety in critical process lines?
A: Trunnion valves utilize a fixed ball design supported by trunnions, reducing operational torque and allowing for secure sealing even at high pressures. Advanced sealing mechanisms prevent media leakage, ensuring safe operation in high-risk applications such as oil and gas or chemical processing.
Q: What sizes of trunnion valves are available for industrial applications?
A: These trunnion valves come in a broad range of sizes, from 15mm to 600mm, accommodating small piping systems as well as large-scale industrial installations. This makes them suitable for both specialized and extensive pipeline networks.
Q: When should trunnion valves be used over other valve types?
A: Trunnion valves are particularly recommended when handling high-pressure or large-diameter flow lines, where reliable shutoff and longevity are essential. Their design minimizes wear and ensures stable performance in continuous operation settings such as field gas plants and oil refineries.
Q: Where can I purchase trunnion valves within India?
A: Trunnion valves are available throughout India via an extensive network of dealers, distributors, exporters, fabricators, manufacturers, producers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers. This ensures ready availability and prompt support nationwide.
Q: What processes are trunnion valves commonly used in?
A: They are predominantly utilized in gas feed lines, field gas plants, industrial gas processing plants, oil refinery feedstock lines, and crude oil production. Their compatibility with water, gas, oil, acidic, and basic media makes them an excellent choice for multifaceted operations.
Q: How does the pneumatic power mechanism benefit trunnion valve operation?
A: Pneumatic actuation enables automated, precise, and rapid operation of the trunnion valve, reducing manual intervention and enhancing control accuracy in process plants. This feature improves overall efficiency and system safety.
Q: What are the key benefits of selecting a trunnion valve for industrial use?
A: Choosing a trunnion valve offers advantages such as durable sealing, lower maintenance needs, adaptability to corrosive or high-pressure media, and efficient operation through pneumatic actuation. These factors collectively contribute to safer, more reliable industrial processes.
